About the Institute for Women’s Health

The Institute for Women’s Health (IWH), formerly known as the Center for Research on Women’s Health, was established on the TWU-Denton campus in 1993. The mission of the IWH has always been to gather data and disseminate information that will lead to cost-effective disease prevention and health maintenance programs for women and girls.

In 2003, the IWH joined the College of Health Sciences. The IWH serves as a research and education resource for TWU’s health professions programs on the Denton campus.

The IWH has also forged partnerships that link a variety of academic institutions, community-based organizations, and government agencies united by the common goal of advancing the health and wellbeing of women and girls in Texas.
