What does Sex and Gender Specific Health mean to me?

Did you know that women are more likely to have atypical symptoms of heart attacks and strokes than men? This is just one of the ways that men and women are different when it comes to our health. Taking into account these differences, we, as patients and consumers, can no longer accept the "one size fits all" model of modern medicine and we must demand more personalized medicine.

The Laura W. Bush Institute for Women's Health is committed to raising the awareness of Sex and Gender Specific Health and the differences between men and women. Through our 3-part mission, we support: Scientific Investigation to focus on Women's Health and Sex & Gender Differences ensuring discoveries benefit the entire population, not just half; Education to ensure all health professionals consider each patient's uniqueness, while taking into consideration how Sex & Gender impact health and wellness; and Community Impact to educate the public, empowering us to take charge of our health.
