The National Health Organization for Women's Health in the 21st Century Program

Description

This pamphlet for the National Health Council's (NHC) 40th Annual Health Forum titled "Health for Women in the 21st Century," held on June 2, 1993, in the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC, was sent to the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS) due to its interdisciplinary approach to curriculum. According to the pamphlet, the forum was funded through an educational grant from the Warner-Lambert Company. This forum was for policymakers and the public. It aimed to examine the impact of changing demographics, forecasts for medical research and health delivery advancements, and other major societal trends impacting women's health. It wanted to stimulate long-term, visionary thinking in the healthcare industry and the public sector to create a healthier future for women. This pamphlet included the preliminary program agenda, the registration form, and a hotel registration form.
Since 1977, the Center for the Study of Women and Society (CSWS), Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY) has promoted interdisciplinary feminist scholarship. The Center’s research agenda focuses on the intersectional study of gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, and nation in societies worldwide. The Center co-sponsors the Women’s Studies Certificate Program and, most notably, hosts the only stand-alone Women’s and Gender Studies MA Program in New York City.
