Breaking Barriers: Women and Health. Speakers will discuss the history of women physicians in Chicago and share the remarkable story of how they broke social barriers in medicine. There will also be a screening of a video by a woman who after being diagnosed with cervical cancer at age 25 made it her mission to educate others. Speakers will be on hand to discuss the medical breakthroughs that have been made to prevent cervical cancer.
