The National Council of Women's Organizations' Women's Health Task Force is comprised of 18 organizations that support the work of NCWO member organizations to advance women's health and to promote NCWO's healthcare policy agenda.

Women have their own special healthcare needs – whether they’re related to reproductive health or to health conditions that affect everyone. They are also the gatekeepers to their family’s health and are the primary consumers of healthcare in America. The Task Force wants women and organizations to use the health and policy information on this website to become active and engaged advocates for the health of women throughout the United States. The Task Force also seeks to provide a place where women can easily find information on health, and apply this information to an overall health and wellness plan for themselves and their families.

At present, task force is focused on increasing women's awareness of cervical cancer and expand women's access to all of the clinical tools now available to help prevent this disease. New issues will be added by members of our Task Force.
