Miss DC Allyn Rose to receive Women’s Health Advocacy Award

“The 21st Annual Congress on Women’s Health will be held in Washington, D.C. on March 22-24, 2013, and I am receiving the Women’s Health Advocacy Award. The Congress attracts over 1,200 physicians and other healthcare providers from almost every state and more than 20 countries, and I will have the incredible opportunity to share my platform. I was at Miss America when I received the news and I cried in rehearsals. So blessed for all of these amazing opportunities and that my mother’s life continues to impact others.”
-Allyn Rose, Miss DC 2012
