Council for Excellence in Women's Health

Mary Henrich and Graciela Cigarroa, Co-chairs for the Council for Excellence of Women’s Health

The Council for Excellence in Women’s Health was formed in 2007 with a mission to improve the physical and mental health of women in San Antonio by building awareness for women’s health issues. Through various outreach activities, the council promotes a greater understanding and need for support of women’s health care programs and initiatives.
The council established the Council for Excellence in Women’s Health Scholarship which annually supports students in each of the five schools who are pursuing women’s health studies. This philanthropic support from our members and donors furthers the mission of the council to help support our future healthcare providers for women’s health.
