The Division of Women's Health and the Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women's Hospital are committed to improving the health of women and transforming their medical care.
The Connors Center for Women's Health and Gender Biology and the Division of Women's Health work with divisions and departments throughout the hospital to provide care for all aspects of women's health throughout the life span. In addition to collaborative initiatives to improve patient care by translating research findings into clinical practice and developing pilot clinical programs targeting specific populations and areas of women's health, the Division and Center:
conduct research on sex- and gender-based biology, and the impact of sex and gender on disease, on outcomes and the delivery of care;
build awareness of issues related to women's health and gender biology among clinicians, patients and the general public;
educate leaders with the experience and skills to have a major impact on improving the health of women; and
advocate for changes in public policy to improve the health of women.
