The Collaborative for Women’s Environmental Health

Vision & Mission

The Collaborative for Women’s Environmental Health (CWEH)* was established in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology to help create a healthier, sustainable, and more equitable environment for women and their families around the globe. To achieve our ambitions, we are actively engaged in research, education and advocacy in the intersection of women’s health, environmental health, and climate change.

* While our name references women, our work includes the full Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging spectrum of gender identities.
