| Letter from the Founders
The Foundation for Female Health Awareness is a not-for-profit, 501(C)(3) organization
dedicated to improving women’s health by supporting unbiased medical
research and educating women about their health from adolescence to
menopause and beyond.
 Women are the heart of the health care system within the family, as they make over
80% of health care decisions in this country and spend 8 of 10 health care dollars. Our
goal is to encourage women to become advocates for their own
health by giving them access to the most up-to-date information
provided by leading physicians and researchers.
Our independence
from any health care system, pharmaceutical company, or
other outside resource allows us to present women’s health
issues in a nonbiased fashion. We intend to reach women of all
ages, economic groups, educational levels, and geographic
locations so that they can become advocates for their own
health and well being. Our educational process will extend
beyond simply providing written information on disease states.
It will educate women on prevalence, predisposing factors, prophylactic
measures, and how and who can best treat their problems.
The information we intend to provide is comprehensive,
objective, and supported by a scientific advisory board made up of the nation’s leading
researchers, clinicians, and surgeons.
Although the Foundation intends to address all aspects of female health, specific
emphasis will be placed on disease states dealing with the reproductive tract and gender-
specific medicine. The last decade of research has focused on women’s health
problems and shown how normal human biology differs between men and women
and how these differences affect or should affect diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Our main focus is prevention of disease and promotion of healthy lifestyle choices,
with the ultimate goal of significantly improving quality of life for women. |
