Sharon Camp was determined. Determined to get out from behind the policy desk, from behind the research desk, from behind the lobbying desk and to do something concrete for women. She did.

We met numerous times in the mid and late 1990s to discuss financing for Plan B and its use at PPNYC clinics. The latter was easier than the former, as we were already offering the morning after pill to our clients, just not under the Plan B label. Alas we were in our usual financial straits and could not be an investor in Women’s Capital Corp. But we cheered her on and lobbied on Plan B’s behalf with medical, legal and regulatory authorities.

Plan B moved women’s health from relying on off label use to FDA sanctioned use of birth control pills for the morning after.

Well done, Sharon!
