Search | Employees

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) has many programs that focus all or in part on some aspects of women's health.  These programs are funded separately and include:

• Family Planning and Reproductive Health (FPRH);
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases;
• HIV/AIDS;
• Breast and Cervical Health;
• Diabetes Prevention and Control Program;
• Heart Health;
• Maternal and Child Health (MCH);
• Adult Immunization;
• Injury and Violence Prevention Program;
• Public Health Nutrition;
• Tobacco Prevention and Control Program;
• Women, Infants and Children's Supplemental Nutrition Program; and the
• Office of Health Promotion.

Our women's health effort has focused on bringing these programs together to improve:

• collaboration,
• to broaden the focus of women's health at the state level and
• to provide a forum for Department of Health input and response to current and emerging women's health issues. 

This is accomplished primarily by the Women's Health Resource Network (WHRN), a cross program workgroup that meets regularly.  WHRN's purpose is to provide a forum for communication and coordination related to women's health issues in the areas of assessment, policy and health promotion/disease prevention.
