Women’s health is a branch of medicine that focuses on the wellbeing of women by examining and treating conditions specific to women’s physical and emotional health. Women experience certain conditions and diseases at higher rates than men. For example, heart disease, cancer and diabetes affect women differently than men. At the Samueli Institute, we treat women at every phase of their life, taking into account the various factors that may be affecting their health and wellbeing.
