The Institute for Women's Health and Leadership (IWHL) helps carry out Drexel University College of Medicine's commitment to making women's health a key strategic goal. Guided by director Lynn Yeakel, the Institute inspires women of all ages to take charge of their health and discover their potential.

Named in 1996 by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as a National Center of Excellence in Women's Health, one of only six such designations in the nation at the time, the Institute has set its professional sights on developing resources and programs that will bridge the gaps in women's health and leadership.
