Women's Health & the Environment Conference

"The critics will argue that we're panicking and there's not enough hard scientific evidence on environmental harm to justify a significant shift in research priorities. But scientific evidence is a product of research, and we won't have it until we look."
— Teresa Heinz Kerry, 1996 Conference

A project of the Heinz Family Philanthropies, this conference series is based on Teresa Heinz Kerry's belief that women deserve to have our health studied in our own right, with our distinct physical strengths and susceptibilities. The conference series has also focused on bridging the disciplines betweens women's health and the environment. The Women's Health and the Environment series encourages women to take an active and responsible role in decision-making about their health, lifestyle choices and economic futures.
