An update on women's health issues by Susan Hendrix, assistant professor of obstetrics and gynecology and principal investigator for the Women's Health Initiative, is scheduled from noon to 1 p.m. Wednesday, March 19, in 100 Natural Sciences Building at Wayne State University.
Sponsors for the event are the WSU President's Commission on the Status of Women (COSW) and the American Association of University Women.
Laurie Lovett of the Center for Healthcare Effectiveness Research and chairwoman of the COSW Health Sciences Committee says, "Much is needed to be learned about the complicated processes and problems affecting the health of women.
"The Women's Health Initiative is the largest concerted effort in U.S. history to systematically collect information about women," she says. "The information will be used by clinicians at Wayne State, the Detroit Medical Center and around the world to improve the health status of women."
For more information call Patrice Merritt, COSW chairwoman, at (313) 577-8377 or Lovett at (313) 577-0707.
