The Second Infusion is live. Your infusion changed your life. Your second one changes hers.
Give the second infusion →Program 03 · The Working Women Campaign
Free iron screening at work, run by the Foundation, with one promise to the employer: Screen one. Fund one. For every employee screened, one infusion is funded for a woman outside your organization who cannot pay.
The case
Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world and it sits mostly in women of working age. It is cheap to find, quick to treat, and almost never looked for.
30–50%
of healthy women have no iron in reserve at all
Weyand & DeLoughery, ASH 2023
2.9 years
average wait from first symptom to diagnosis
Akpan et al., 2025
9 days
from consult to infusion on the Foundation's model
ASH 2023, Abstract 2314
$28,600
per quality-adjusted life year: IV iron is cost-effective as first-line treatment

What a screening day looks like
Two weeks before
We plan it
A date, a room and a sign-up link. We bring the nurse, the tests and the bilingual intake team.
On the day
A free ferritin test and a short intake, on site, during working hours. No fasting, no forms to chase.
Within days
Results read
Every result is reviewed by a hematology team. Anyone with low iron is offered a video consult with a board-certified hematologist.
Nine days, on average
Treatment
IV iron through the network, covered by insurance or funded by the Foundation when it is not.
Nine days: average televisit-to-infusion, ASH 2023, Abstract 2314.
The mechanic is the whole offer. Your organization hosts a free screening day for its own people. For every employee screened, the Foundation funds one infusion for a woman who cannot pay for hers. You get a screening day, a published impact receipt and a partner listing. She gets iron.
Who this is for
For employers
HR and people teams, from a 40-person office to a hospital campus. We handle the clinical side end to end and report back on what your day paid for.
For clinicians
OB/GYNs, primary care and school nurses who see low iron every week and have nowhere fast to send it. One referral route, one navigator, no loop.
Bring a screening day to your workplace this quarter. One email starts it, and the Foundation does the rest.
