How Cecile Richards, Douglas R. Lowy and John T. Schiller Advanced Women's Health

Cecile Richards attends the opening night of the 8th Annual Women in the World Summit at the David H. Koch Theater on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, in New York.

We are joined by the three recipients of the 2017 Lasker Awards: Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards, and scientists Douglas R. Lowy and John T. Schiller. This year's awards focused on how recipients advanced women's health. We hear from Lowy and Schiller about their work at the National Cancer Institute developing the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical (and other) cancers. Richards shares with us how Planned Parenthood is continuing its mission of providing essential reproductive healthcare.
