Abstract:
The need for a national women's health network was identified at recent conferences held in Edmonton (1980) and Toronto (1981). Such a network would: share information and action strategies with new and existing health and women's groups; represent women at a national level regarding legislation and health programming; promote women's health interests by research, media and educational conferences, and develop international contacts.
In an effort to develop this Canadian Women's Health Network, a committee of five women has been formed to contact women across the country, study models of networks and secure funding. Interested individuals and organizations can support the work of the committee by sending a written response to the following questions:
1) What issues would you like to see a national women's health network focus on?
2) What services could a national health network offer to support the development of local and regional networks?
3) In what ways could you or your organization contribute to a national network?
This organizatio no longer exists.
