WFFH Mission Statement
To empower all women -- through physician and patient education -- to be proactive about healthcare in order to achieve ultimate well-being in mind, body, and spirit. Read More.


For six decades The World Foundation for Medical Studies in Female Health [a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization] has been committed to keeping women healthy, both through physician and consumer education.

In 2010, our mission has been honed to a specific area of women's health: to provide free educational programs to women in transition, those who are in halfway houses or transitional residences due to drug/alcohol addiction, domestic violence, incarceration, or homelessness. Programs are free of charge to the residence and the resident, and include such topics as the cancers, pregnancy, contraception, addiction, mental health, menopause, nutrition, smoking cessation, sexually transmitted disease, and much more. As a multi-specialty foundation, WFFH is in a unique position to help women in transition and recovery to help themselves.

If you are a staff member at a halfway house in the U.S., or a nurse practitioner who would like to participate in our programs, please contact WFFH at sstjohn@wffh.org to learn more and to set up programs in your area.

There is a special place in hell for women who do not help other women. ~Madeleine K. Albright
