Indy Maven January Meetup | Unfiltered: A Women’s Health Conversation

Some conversations are long overdue—and this is one of them.

Join Indy Maven and Hancock Health for an honest, empowering, and judgment-free conversation about women’s health—the kind we all deserve, but rarely get. This live panel brings together some of Indiana’s top women’s health experts to answer the real questions we’re often too embarrassed to ask, too confused to Google, or too rushed to bring up in the exam room.

From hormones and aging to pelvic health, sexual wellness, surgeries, and everything in between—nothing is off-limits.

Expect candor. Expect clarity. Expect to leave feeling informed, empowered, and seen.
