title: Prevention & women's health: making the health care system more responsive to women. Grantmakers In Health.
abstract: This report is the first in a series of programs made possible by a grant to Grantmakers In Health (GIH) from The Commonwealth Fund to bring grantmakers together with experts in policy, practice, and research to exchange information and ideas about key health issues facing the nation. On May 10, 1999, GIH convened a small group of grantmakers along with experts in community health, research, and government for an Issue Dialogue on prevention and women's health. Intended to both share lessons learned and stimulate new ideas, the Issue Dialogue proved to be a lively and insightful forum on the challenges and opportunities in funding projects in this area. This Issue Brief brings together key points from the day's discussion with factual information on women's health and grantmaker activities drawn from a background paper prepared for Dialogue participants.
