History

Laura Bush

The Laura W. Bush Institute for Women's Health was established to create a new approach to women's health care. Working through a collaborative multidisciplinary network, amazing discoveries have been made. Knowledge gained is propagating further research and educational programs that benefit communities, patients and health care providers.

Modern day research proves that some diseases react differently in men and women, which challenges health care professionals to design special approaches that provide women's health information, disease diagnosis and treatment. The Institute has developed an institution-wide infrastructure that benefits women's health.
