Empowering Women, Building Resilient Families

NYS PTA and Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health are partnering to arm parents with the information they need to make informed healthcare decisions and prioritize their wellbeing. 

What is the Katz Institute for Women’s Health all about?

In a word: women. When it comes to health and medicine, women have long been understudied, undertreated, and misdiagnosed. For decades, research and clinical trials primarily focused on men, neglecting the unique health needs of women. That’s why we’re putting women first.

At Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health, we’re a dedicated network of experts devoted to every aspect of women’s care, and we’re passionate about providing women with the knowledge, resources, and support they need to thrive.

We recognize that a woman’s health is intricately connected to the well-being of her family. By empowering women to take control of their own health, we’re also building stronger, healthier families and communities. 

Stay on top of your preventive health screenings:

When you take charge of your health, you have a better understanding of what your body is going through at all stages and can be better empowered to advocate for yourself. Health needs differ at every age. Here’s what to look for to ensure you’re staying on top of the right things at the right times.
