What is Katz Institute for Women's Health?

 

­National Women's Health Week serves as an annual reminder for women to make their health a priority and build positive health habits for life.

 

Katz's Institute for Women's Health supports much needed change in women’s health care. When it comes to health and medicine, women have long been understudied, undertreated and misdiagnosed.

 

We think it’s time to change that.

Raising Awareness for Women's Health

 

There’s a dirty little secret in health care that doesn’t get the attention it deserves: Female patients are continuously gaslighted about their physical and mental health. There’s currently a stark gender gap in health research funding across the board, even when it comes to diseases that disproportionately impact women.
