Help Underserved Women Access the Health Care They Deserve
EliHealth Initiative is a 501(c)(3) women’s health nonprofit helping women facing financial barriers access pelvic health education and treatment.
Bladder leakage affects 1 in 3 women. Too many live with its impact because of cost, stigma, or lack of information about treatment options. Your donation can help change that.
The Issue: An Overlooked Women’s Health Need
Urinary incontinence affects 1 in 3 women, yet many assume bladder leakage is simply part of aging. It can affect work, sleep, exercise, travel, and time with loved ones. The ongoing cost of pads can add another burden for women with limited incomes.
Managing bladder leaks is not the same as treating them. Pelvic floor therapy and other treatment options may help, and some qualifying patients may have coverage through Medicare or Connecticut Medicaid. Yet cost, lack of awareness, and difficulty navigating care can still put treatment out of reach.
No woman should have to sacrifice her independence because she cannot afford care.
Our Mission: Turning Awareness into Access
EliHealth Initiative works to help underserved women learn about pelvic health treatments and overcome financial barriers to care. With charitable support and community health partnerships, our work includes:
- Expanding pelvic health education and awareness
- Helping women understand potential insurance coverage and treatment resources
- Providing targeted assistance with eligible treatment costs and, when appropriate, refurbished devices and new supplies
Women often put their own health needs last when household budgets are stretched. One woman who reached out described wanting treatment but being unable to afford even monthly payments. Stories like hers show why access matters.
Help More Women Access Pelvic Health Treatment
For a woman living on a limited income, bladder leakage can mean avoiding time with family, giving up activities, or paying for pads instead of other necessities. Your gift helps fund education, treatment access, and targeted assistance for women facing financial barriers.
Help change a woman’s life. EliHealth Initiative is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit welcoming individual donations, foundation support, corporate partnerships, and donor-advised fund gifts.
Make a Monetary Donation
Every contribution helps EliHealth Initiative reach women who face financial barriers to pelvic health care.
Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund
Recommend a grant from your donor-advised fund (DAF) to support women’s pelvic health education and treatment access.
Donate an Elitone Device
Have an Elitone device you no longer use? Donated devices may help expand treatment assistance after appropriate inspection and refurbishment. Contact us about eligible devices and supplies. Any tax deduction for a noncash gift is subject to applicable rules and donor valuation.
Expanding Access to Treatment
Women deserve to know that bladder leakage is often treatable. Options include pelvic floor physical therapy and at-home treatments, depending on a woman’s symptoms and clinical needs.
One example is Elitone, an FDA-cleared, non-invasive wearable device that uses external electrical stimulation to strengthen pelvic floor muscles for stress incontinence. EliHealth Initiative works to improve access to pelvic health education and appropriate treatment options, not to promote a single product.
Charitable support can help women understand their options and overcome financial barriers to care.
