Meet Our Advisory Council

Established almost three decades ago, Women's Health Research at Yale's Advisory Council includes passionate leaders all sharing a deep commitment to advancing women's health research. The Advisory Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Director and staff, bringing a breadth of experience, expertise, and connections from across the country. The Council plays a critical role in shaping the mission of the Center and in translating and disseminating our discoveries well beyond Yale.
