FEM Iron Infusion Center by Heme On Call knows employers want to keep their working women staff healthy and productive. Under the supervision and pioneer hemeotogist Dr. Steven Fein, The Working Women Campaign comes to your office offering free iron testing for all women in the workplace.
By testing working women for iron, your office will improve women’s well-
being and productivity, as well as the development of their babies.
Iron deficiency is the most common nutrient deficiency, but it’s usually not
caused by “malnutrition.” The main causes of low iron are menstrual periods and pregnancies. This is why low iron is a “women's health” issue. In fact, 25 percent of all women with periods have very low iron, and 25 percent of all pregnant women have very low iron.
This is a public health problem that affects our world in many ways. It’s a
major cause of gender inequality because working women with low iron
may not be productive or focused. Women who have low iron attributed to
heavy menstrual bleeding may miss work more often than others, so they
may miss out on a raise or promotion.
Working women who are pregnant also need to ensure they have enough
iron for their pregnancy and their baby. It has been proven that pregnancy
outcomes and baby development are affected by having enough iron.
The only way to know whether you have low iron is through blood testing.
All women with menstrual periods need iron testing every 1-2 years, and all
pregnant women need iron testing before the third trimester. This testing is
often not done by doctors unless it’s requested by their patients.
