About Us

Founded in 2004 by Missy Lavender, Women’s Health Foundation has sought to bring sensitive and stigmatized women’s health issues out of hiding and into the light. Guided by a mission to improve the pelvic health and wellness of all women, WHF is continually taking steps to empower women with knowledge, and in turn, take control of their bodies.

Today, Women’s Health Foundation is made up of individuals united in their goal to have this sisterhood of silence become a sisterhood of strength: connecting, educating and empowering women who struggle with pelvic health issues. The foundation is rapidly becoming the nation’s most visible and passionate champion of women’s pelvic wellness issues.

About WHF Community Blog

As women, we alone shoulder the responsibility of our health and wellness. It’s time to take charge. To learn about the very things that make us who we are. To embrace our bodies, for better and worse. To remove the stigma of silence around us. To share our wisdom and take comfort in each other.

It’s time to start talking. And it’s time to be heard.
