If our work empowers one individual to work towards women’s health research, then we are just a step closer to ensuring women’s well being and family health.

Research must be at the forefront of any women’s health initiative. Today, women are still underrepresented in clinical trials. The exclusion of female subjects in current research efforts translates into women being misdiagnosed and treated for any given illness on the basis of results from male subjects, often putting women at a higher risk. A “one-size-fits-all” approach does not apply to medicine when diagnosing and treating women’s health. We believe that by empowering women with information about the latest research on women’s health, we help keep the women we love healthy!

As part of our outreach efforts, the Speakers Service extends the Howell foundation educational mission into corporations and nonprofit organizations. One hundred percent of the speaking fees go directly to the Doris A. Howell Foundation. All topics are evidence-based and provide research about organizational and individual wellness. Some topics cover healthy living in the 21st century. Other topics focus on the quality of people’s mental and physical health in the workplace.

All presentations are highly interactive unless the client specifically requests a one-way presentation from the podium. The presentations are structured to include opportunities for the audience members to talk with each other and with the speaker at intervals during the presentation rather than waiting for a traditional Q&A session at the end. When the setting allows, speakers go out into the audience to talk during those discussions.
