The Office on Women's Health (OWH) in the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the government's champion and focal point for women's health issues, and works to redress inequities in research, health care services, and education that have historically placed the health of women at risk. The Office on Women's Health coordinates women's health efforts in HHS to eliminate disparities in health status and supports culturally sensitive eduactional programs that encourage women to take personal responsibility for their own health and wellness. In keeping with its goals, OWH has established the National Women's Health Information Center (www.4woman.gov). The Center maintains a site on the World Wide Web that links to a wide variety of women’s health-related resources developed by the Department of Health and Human Services, other Federal agencies, and private sector resources. Information is also available through a toll-free information referral line.
