Telling our story.
Give Me a Second was inspired by the experiences of millions of women at HysterSisters.com, the largest online community of women who provide support to each other before and after having hysterectomies. In June 2010, HysterSisters founder and CEO Kathy Kelley launched Give Me a Second to educate women about the importance of second opinions and encourage them to ask questions and partner with their doctors for the best care.
