Essentially Women presents EW Ruth Addison Award

WATERLOO, Iowa – Essentially Women, a division of VGM & Associates, named Mary Walsh Aframe as the 2022 Essentially Women Ruth Addison Award Winner at this year’s Focus Conference. Essentially Women presents the EW Ruth Addison Award each year to an individual who has made a significant impact within her company, her community and the women’s health industry. Walsh Aframe, the owner and founder of The Women’s Image Center in Worcester, Mass., has been instrumental in the introduction of H.R. 5430, which would provide Medicare coverage for wigs as durable medical equipment. “I thank my village for this recognition,” said Walsh Aframe. “Guided by the spirit of the Ruth Addison Award, I hope to drive our community to encourage Congress to pass the custom breast prosthesis bill. Together, let’s make this bill a reality.” The Focus Conference was held May 1-3 at the Sheraton Sand Key Resort in Clearwater Beach, Fla., the group’s first in-person event in two years.  “It was so good to meet together with everyone again face-to-face,” said Nikki Jensen, vice president of Essentially Women. “Meeting in-person allows our members to really connect with each other and our vendor partners at a deeper level.”
