Get On-line With Women's Health Experts

Women's College and The Centre for Research in Women's Health launch Web site

On January 21, 2000, two internationally recognized leaders in women's health will launch a new Web site featuring the latest information on women's health.

The Centre for Research in Women's Health and the Women's College Campus, of Sunnybrook & Women's College Health Sciences Centre, will introduce <www.womenshealthmatters.ca> at the Women's Health Matters Forum & Expo. The site will provide consumers with the latest information, news and research findings on women's health, diseases and lifestyle.

This is the first Canadian Web site to focus on women's health issues and to offer reliable, evidence-based and up-to-date information on topics such as cancer, cardiovascular health and osteoporosis. All of the information published on the site will be provided, reviewed and approved by women's health experts from Women's College and The Centre for Research in Women's Health.

The Web site will also profile women's health experts from the two organizations, feature the latest developments in women's health research and provide an extensive directory of Canadian women's health resources.

Sunnybrook & Women's College Health Sciences Centre is an academic centre of excellence that, in partnership with its communities and fully affiliated with the University of Toronto, ensures a full range of high-quality, values-based, patient-centred services and is a leader in women's health.

The Centre for Research in Women's Health is a partnership of the Sunnybrook & Women's College Health Sciences Centre and the University of Toronto. Founded in 1995, it is commited to conducting and fostering women's health research, with a mandate to demonstrate "Leadership through Partnership."
