Our Model of Women's Health
The Center of Excellence Designation
The National Centers of Excellence in Women's Health (CoEs) were established in 1996 by the US Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Health. The Centers are located in academic medical centers where they bring together the work of their schools and departments addressing women's health. The programs work to establish and evaluate a new model health care system that unites:
- state-of-the-art health care services addressing all of a woman's needs
- gender-based research
- public and professional education and training
- community linkages for health services and programs
- leadership positions for women in academic medicine.
The goal of the program is to improve the health status of all women across the life span. Learn more about the Office on Women's Health in the US Department of Health and Human Services.
