Health Committee

Health equity means individuals can access the resources and services they require, when and where they need them, to achieve their optimal health.

The goal of the Health Committee is to foster a shared understanding and build a robust foundation for all levels of community to address health disparities among women. Members possess lived experience or expertise in WSWC’s health policy priorities and help inform our legislative and community work.
