Race, Gender, and Generation: Reflections by Three Physicians in Three Parts.

In Reply: First, I thank the authors for their service and their work in providing care to military women. I am honored to be considered an ally of this group and join in their commitment to promoting understanding and discussion on issues related to this underserved population. Second, I reiterate the authors’ call—we must avoid the politicization of women’s health; instead, we must support the ongoing initiatives and progress being made in this area. Although my article in the July 2019 issue attempted to highlight and discuss specific barriers to care that some military women face and offer practical solutions,1 it is critical to promote and encourage efforts that have already been undertaken to address these challenges. As noted in my article, issues of women’s health are beginning to be addressed through a variety of programs, initiatives, and working groups. A number of these were mentioned in the authors’ Letter, as well as in my original article, but that list is not exhaustive. Finally, I would like to underscore the importance of this discussion to the broader medical community. The support and advocacy necessary to encourage change require the engagement of obstetrician–gynecologists, whether in uniform or not.
