Raising awareness about women's health concerns is the focus of a public service campaign launched this February by the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM), the nation's oldest women's health organization.

Under the banner "WithWomen*" on its new site at <www.WithWomen.org>, and with its new dark teal advocacy wristbands, ACNM aims to draw more attention to the myriad of major issues in women's health care, including the precipitous rise in unnecessary and dangerous elective C-sections and the gap in access to care between women of color and white women.

"The purpose of the WithWomen* campaign is to create a virtual network of health-care organizations that believe women count and are working to improve the lives of women and their families," according to Deanne Williams, CNM, the organization's executive director.
