National Women's Health Information Center

The U.S. Public Health Service's Office on Women's Health (PHS OWH) invites you to use a new National Women's Health Information Center, (NWHIC). Through a toll-free phone number and the Internet, the NWHIC acts as a federal "Woman's Health Central" for the public, health care professionals, educators, researchers and women in the military. By organizing the vast array of health information for women to a single point of entry, the PHS OWH hopes that women will have easier access to information from Federal Health Clearinghouses within the DHHS, and hundreds of private sector organizations.

If you have a question about women's health in general or about a specific program, concern, or disease, you can call 1-800-994-WOMAN. NWHIC's specially trained health information specialists will be happy to provide the information to you. You can also access the website at http://www.4woman.org
