Founder

Let’s Talk Women’s Health & Wellness™ is the brainchild of founder Deborah Q. Belfatto, a two-time breast cancer survivor, community activist and leading advocate for women’s health and wellness.

Now in its fifth year, Let’s Talk has grown from an annual signature symposium attracts nearly 1,000 attendees, to a trusted destination for quality women’s health and wellbeing information & resources.

Championing Women’s Health Together

Within a supportive, positive environment, women have the opportunity to connect with educational resources that touch on almost every facet of life that can affect their well-being: cancer, fertility, menopause, mental health, financial stability, social connection, spirituality and more. Let’s Talk is also engaged in ongoing community outreach events and partnership initiatives with like-minded organizations.

We are deeply committed to driving transformative education and advocacy through medical professionals, wellness experts, major health systems, community-based organizations and government partners to break systemic barriers and spread information that helps influence change in women’s health policy.

By empowering communities and amplifying voices, Let’s Talk is striving to turn women’s health into a national priority with lasting, widespread impact.
