Introducing Miles For Women’s Health
Women living with migraine and other headache disorders are often navigating much more than one condition.
Research shows that migraine frequently coexists with a range of chronic diseases, including asthma, other pain conditions, depression, anxiety, autoimmune conditions, sleep disorders, and more. This overlapping burden means women are
managing not only the debilitating symptoms of migraine, but also multiple other health challenges that impact their quality of life. This becomes even more confusing because all women will experience perimenopause and menopause, and the complication of hormones and migraine is overwhelming.
Despite this complexity, most women do not receive coordinated or comprehensive care. These conditions are often treated in isolation, each one addressed by a different specialist or clinic, with little to no integration. Primary care providers, though well-intentioned, are often too overwhelmed by patient volume and administrative demands to provide the coordination and continuity women need across their health conditions.
To make matters worse, women are typically caregivers in their families and often work full-time. Many of the women in our community report having three or more chronic conditions—and still being expected to manage work, caregiving, and household responsibilities. They simply do not have the time or energy to navigate a fragmented and confusing healthcare system on their own.
That’s why we are creating Miles for Women’s Health.
To kick off this initiative, we are hosting a national Women’s Health Summit, where experts will speak on the conditions women commonly face, the barriers of fragmented care, and ways to build coordinated solutions for a more supportive healthcare journey.
Our mission is to walk alongside women in their health journeys, offering the support, tools, and connection they need to feel seen, heard, and well at every stage of life.
We are excited to announce the launch of our new initiative, Miles for Women’s Health, dedicated to supporting women navigating migraine + other chronic health conditions.

The Price of Pain
Every year, millions of Americans—most of them women—suffer in silence from a disease that is often dismissed as
“It’s time for Congress to prioritize migraine as a national health issue—by funding research, ensuring access to diagnosis and treatment through increased screening, and supporting legislation like the HEADACHE Act.”
