Community health events
Planning and coordination of women's health drives, wellness days, and health-fair education stations. We handle event design, partner and clinical-volunteer coordination, programming, and take-home resources.
Chicago · Nurse-led
Birth. Postpartum. Menopause. The moments that shape a woman's health the most get explained the least.
DRW Health Collective is working to change that: nurse-led women's health education for every season of a woman's life. That means evidence-based workshops, wellness programming, and community health events for employers, community organizations, and clinical practices.
In person in Chicago or virtual · Single sessions or a series
Who we serve
Built for the people already responsible for women's health.
Nurse-led women's health education, for every season of a woman's life.
- Your ERG or HR team has been asked to “do something for women's health” and doesn't know who to call
- Your community organization, congregation, or school wants real health programming, not a pamphlet table
- Your clinic wants patient education that patients actually read
- Your health fair needs someone credible at the education table
Across the life course
We teach the full life course, not a single stage of it.
- Cycle & hormone health
- The new-parent transition
- Menopause at work
- Heart health & healthy aging
What we do
Four ways organizations work with us.
Flagship
Workshops & speaking
Named sessions for workplaces and community groups, booked as a single session or a series.
- Know Your Body, Own Your HealthOur flagship four-week women's health and self-advocacy series.
- Know Your BirthPreparing for pregnancy, birth, and advocating for yourself in the delivery room.
- The Fourth TrimesterThe new-parent transition, honestly explained.
- Menopause at WorkWhat changes, what helps, and how workplaces can support it.
Program design & consulting
Needs assessments, curriculum development, and women's health program blueprints. Scope runs from a single lunch-and-learn series to a year-long wellness calendar.
Patient education materials
Clear, clinically reviewed handouts and tools on women's health topics. We develop them under your organization's brand, or license them to you for your own use.
How engagements work
Three steps, and the first one is just a conversation.
STEP ONE
A free twenty-minute call
Who you serve, what they are asking about, and what you want them to walk away with.
STEP TWO
A proposed session or series
You get the format, length, topics, and cost in writing before anything is booked.
STEP THREE
Delivery and follow-up
We deliver in person in Chicago or virtually, leave participants with take-home resources, and share a summary of their feedback.
What does it cost?
There are two tiers. For community organizations and nonprofits, a single session starts at $350 and the four-week series at $1,200. For employers, those start at $900 and $3,200. The exact figure depends on the format and the length.
We're a small community organization. Is this for us?
Yes. Community and nonprofit rates are about 40% of the employer rate. Much of this work happens in community rooms, and the groups running them do not have employer budgets.
How far ahead should we book?
Four to six weeks is comfortable for a single session. A four-week series or a community health event needs longer, so start the conversation early if you have a date in mind.
In person or virtual?
Both. In person across the Chicago area, and virtually anywhere. A series can mix the two if that suits your group better.

Recent work
A four-week series, delivered
Know Your Body, Own Your Health ran as a four-week women's health and self-advocacy series for a Chicago community organization.
Deisi Williamson is an Illinois advanced practice registered nurse and a board certified family nurse practitioner. She came to this work through labor and delivery nursing.
She pairs bedside clinical experience with public health training in program design and population health. The practice grew from five years of hearing what women actually ask at 3 a.m., and how rarely anyone taught them the basics before they got there. We're called a collective because that's how the work happens: women, community partners, and organizations learning together, convened by a nurse.
Also from the practice: the Menopause Navigator patient education tool, and ongoing doctoral research on menopause education.
The practice
Deisi Williamson, APRN, is building a nurse-led women’s health practice in Chicago.
This is her own practice, separate from the education and consulting work above.
In planning
She is not accepting patients yet, and there is no opening date to announce.
The interest list is how you find out when that changes. It asks your first name, email, ZIP code, and which insurance you carry. Nothing else.
Please do not send health details through the form or by email. Joining the list is not an appointment.
What the practice will cover
- Menopause and perimenopauseThe focus of the practice, and of her doctoral work.
- Women’s health across the life courseContraception and family planning, gynecologic, reproductive and sexual health, postpartum care.
- Family primary careFull scope, because women’s health does not stop at one body system.
- English and SpanishVisits in either language.
