The Second Infusion is live. Your infusion changed your life. Your second one changes hers.
Give the second infusion →Program 01 · The Second Infusion
The Second Infusion invites every woman who has been treated for iron deficiency to fund one infusion for a woman who cannot pay for hers. You know what it is worth. She is still waiting.
Why women who have been treated
1 in 4
menstruating women have very low iron
Dr. Steven Fein, Miami Community Newspapers
2.9 years
average wait from first symptom to diagnosis, and 4.4 years to IV iron
Akpan et al., Women's Health, 2025
The most persuasive person to ask a woman to fund an iron infusion is a woman who has had one. More than five thousand have been treated across the network. This program is for them.
58%
of 13,084 diagnosed patients still unresolved three years later

How it works
After your infusion
You opt in
A single checkbox in your patient portal. No clinician ever asks. Nothing is sent to anyone who has not ticked it.
Day 30
You give
One-time or monthly, at any amount. Every gift is tracked against the published allocation.
Nine days, on average
The test, the specialist and the infusion, covered when her insurance says no.
Every quarter
A short impact receipt: how many women were screened, seen and treated with what you gave.
Nine days: average televisit-to-infusion, ASH 2023, Abstract 2314.
The guardrails
01
The patient opts in first
Nothing is sent to anyone who has not ticked the box in her own portal.
02
No clinician ever asks
Physicians do not solicit their own patients, especially in a clinical encounter.
03
No quotas, no bonuses
Nobody in the network is rewarded for referrals or for gifts.
04
Giving never affects care
Whether you give, and how much, has no bearing on any treatment you receive.
Three words for what this program is. A woman who was treated funds the treatment of a woman who cannot pay. Then she does the same.
Give the second infusion today. Most gifts take under a minute, and every one is reported back to you each quarter.
