The Women's Health and the Environment Conference series explores the impact of the physical, psychological, and economic environment on the health and well-being of women.

A project of the Heinz Family Philanthropies, this conference series began in 1996, bringing together environmental and women's health leaders.  This conference series is based on Teresa Heinz's belief that women deserve to have our health studied in our own right, with our distinct physical strengths and susceptibilities.  Held each fall in Boston, the conference attracts thousands of women, activists, and mothers for panel discussions by some of the leading experts on women's issues.

The Women’s Health and the Environment series encourages women to take an active and responsible role in decision-making about their health, lifestyle choices and economic futures. This year, the conference series is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. Our speakers will be looking at a decade of achievements in the field of women’s health and the environment as well as describing challenges for the future.
