The Doris A. Howell Foundation
For Women's Health Research


Women's Health has come a long way..., but it has a long way to go!

Women's health is associated with many complex and diverse issues. It covers a wide range of disciplines, from the basic sciences and clinical medicine to public policy. Until recently, critical aspects of women's health have often been ignored or poorly explored. The Doris A. Howell Foundation grew out of this concern and has dedicated itself to addressing the following needs:

  • To promote awareness of the issues and challenges confronting women's health
  • To help develop a new generation of researchers and scholars in the field
  • To communicate the right of women to be their own healthcare advocates
Help promote women's health research and education -
