The National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC) is the nation's leading independent, non-profit organization dedicated to educating women of all ages about health and wellness issues.

By providing access to reliable, unbiased information, the NWHRC encourages women to be informed health consumers and to lead healthy lifestyles.

In collaboration with top health care experts and organizations, the NWHRC develops original health materials and content specifically for women. Since its inception in 1988, the NWHRC has grown to become the preeminent clearinghouse for women's health and wellness information. From its National Women's Health Report to its extensive database of nationwide health resources to its comprehensive Web site (www.healthywomen.org), the NWHRC provides women with the information they need to make informed decisions on the health topics most important to them.

• Health Care Professionals—The NWHRC assists health care professionals by serving as an additional resource for their patients. Because the NWHRC works with the foremost professionals in the medical field to compile its materials, it offers health care professionals the opportunity to effectively enhance the education and support services they provide to consumers. Through our publication, the National Women's Health Report, our toll free number and our user friendly Web site, the NWHRC supports professionals' efforts to provide the most timely, accurate health information available.

The NWHRC's staff and its Women's Health Advisory Council, a group of national health experts, are available to provide professional perspective and commentary on women's health issues. Media can visit our online media center.

• For-Profit Organizations—The NWHRC welcomes partnerships with industry leaders, including pharmaceutical, consumer-product and managed care companies, hospitals and health systems, corporations, and media establishments. Opportunities exist for the development of national public education initiatives, educational products and online content as well as the expansion of corporate intranets.
