Organizer

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health

The Office on Women's Health (OWH) provides national leadership and coordination to improve the health of women and girls through policy, education, and model programs. Part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), OWH was established in 1991 to improve the health of American women by advancing and coordinating a comprehensive women's health agenda throughout HHS to address health care prevention and service delivery, research, public and health care professional education, and career advancement for women in health professions and scientific careers. OWH also works with numerous government agencies, nonprofit organizations, consumer groups, and health care professional associations.

During the early 1990s, OWH focused on elevating women's health as a specialized issue for government action and attention. With women's health now firmly rooted in the national health landscape, OWH is focusing on women's health priorities to meet the sweeping demographic trends of the next century and to focus on the millions of underserved women in America.
