women, health and homelessness

Friday, 14 May 2010 10:21

We just got back from a great conversation, led by Les Whitbeck, PhD, Professor of Sociology at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Dr. Whitbeck had great insight about health care issues for homeless women - concerns, risks, barriers, etc. Additionally, he shared and received feedback from attendees, who work with the homeless population in Seattle, about the current program of research he is developing that will focus on homeless women and children.

Thank you to our co-host, DHHS Office on Women's Health, and Social Venture Partners for allowing us to use their space this morning!
