Many women now use the internet to get reliable health information for ourselves and our extended family. The key word here is reliable. After doing some research, and asking for recommendations from doctors in the field of women’s health, I think The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health website is well worth looking at. It’s got lots of fantastic information and is an easy site to move around. It’s a bit like asking your friends if they know a good doctor and being told that one is close by and easy to get into!
The Foundation is a national not-for-profit organisation with a vision to help women live the healthiest life they can. The Foundation provides a range of important health services including research, healthcare, education and resources for Australian women and their health professionals.
Established in 1991, the Foundation was created in memory of Dr Jean Hailes, a renowned Australian general practitioner who devoted her career to the health of women. Iin 1971 she began the first clinic in Australia dedicated to the management of women in midlife and beyond.
The Jean Hailes Foundation for Women’s Health shares Jean Hailes’ passion for improving the health and wellbeing of all women.
