Welcome to the Foundation for Female Health Awareness. We invite you to look around our web site and discover how together we can improve the quality of life for women.

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 unbiased gender-specific 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.

The Foundation for Female Health Awareness is a not-for-profit, 501 (C) (3) organization dedicated to improving women's health by supporting unbiased gender-specific medical research and educating women from adolescence to menopause and beyond about their health. With continued research and comprehensive education ,the goals of disease prevention and improved quality of life can be achieved.
