S1 E2: My Density Matters with Leslie Ferris Yerger

An all-clear mammogram didn’t tell the whole story. For Leslie Ferris Yerger, founder and CEO of My Density Matters, that moment exposed a critical gap in women’s health, one that inspired her to transform a deeply personal diagnosis into a nationwide mission for change. In this episode of Her Health Innovated, Leslie shares how her experience led to the creation of My Density Matters, a nonprofit empowering women to understand their breast density, advocate for themselves, and demand better screening options. Her work now extends beyond awareness, driving conversations that connect patients, clinicians, and policymakers to close the gaps in early detection and equity in care. Innovation in women’s health grows when patient voices drive the conversation and Leslie is leading that charge.

S1 E1: Breast Cancer in Younger Women with Dr. Amy Patel

To open our first season, we’re joined by Dr. Amy K. Patel — a nationally recognized breast radiologist, advocate, and healthcare leader. Recently named to Radiology Business’ 40 Under 40 Class of 2024 and In Kansas City Magazine’s Innovators and Influencers list, Dr. Patel has led groundbreaking work to expand equitable access to breast cancer screening and imaging. In this episode, Dr. Patel discusses how advocacy and early detection are evolving — from new screening guidelines and supplemental imaging to the state-level legislation she helped pass in Missouri guaranteeing insurance coverage for diagnostic and high-risk breast imaging. She also shares why awareness among younger women is more urgent than ever, with breast cancer diagnoses on the rise in women under 40. This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we’re spotlighting the people driving real change in women’s health — one innovation, one conversation, and one patient at a time.
