    Abstract:
    There has been a recent resurgence of interest in women's health as evidenced by several federal and international policy-shaping reports that will impact women's health services. These reports include the 2010 Affordable Care Act, the formation of the National Prevention Council and Strategy, the 2011 IOM report on clinical preventives services for women, and the World Health Organization strategic plan for 2010-2015. In this paper, we summarize and discuss these reports and discuss implications of enacting the suggested health policies. We highlight policy strategies and recommendations that will extend national and global recommendations to improve women's health and wellness across the lifespan and emphasize the urgent need for preventive services. We conclude this paper by detailing our broad recommendations for putting prevention into practice illustrated by specific recommendations related to unintended pregnancy prevention and management.
