Our Work
Cohort Sessions
Teaching women of color about risk and dangers of disparities through our innovation, information & interaction cohort education sessions.
Clinical Trials
The lack of participation in clinical trials among women of color is critically low. LWH is finding new and cutting edge ways to educate and increase overall involvement in trials.
Cultural Care
The need for doctors to be culturally responsive is critical to providing effective healthcare. LWH and Culturally Responsive Care University are equipping doctors, hospital systems, and health professionals with needed knowledge and simulation training.
Corporations
Teaching healthcare systems and corporations on intersectional health increases enhanced patient outcomes, improves patient trust, and dramatically reduces excess medical care costs.
