Welcome to Women’s Health Research at Yale
Improvements in health and health care depend on new scientific findings translated into practical benefits - in the form of better clinical and personal practices. Yet research to generate this information on women's health and gender-specific aspects of health has become a focus of attention only recently. With generous support from friends in the community, our program has been highly successful in starting to insure that gender differences in health are studied, and that new information derived from this work is used to enhance our lives and well-being. We welcome and encourage your interest.
