title: The development of a women's health center in an academic health center.
abstract: Women's health needs have been a special focus of health care for more than a century. In the early 1970s, a segment of the women's market began seeking changes in the health care system. Since then, the emergence of women's health centers has been a nationally growing trend. This professional paper will address the various elements in designing a women's health center in an academic health setting, beginning with the development of a concept and needs assessment and ending with the influence a women's health center has on health care for others.
