  • Title: Women's health care centers: multiple definitions.
    Author: Lundy M, Mason S.
    Journal: Soc Work Health Care; 1994; 19(3-4):109-22. PubMed ID: 8023233.
    Abstract:
    Feminist health and holistic health movements predate and contribute to the current changes in women's health care. Recently, there has been a rivitalization of women's health centers reflecting three approaches to women's health: (1) centers with an exclusive focus on one health problem, e.g., breast cancer, chemical dependency (2) centers with a predominantly reproductive focus, and (3) centers with a holistic/feminist health care focus. Based on an exploratory survey of women's centers in a large city, this paper identifies differences among them and discusses the potential for misguidance that may occur with the current increase in women's health centers. It also discusses the implications of this growth for social work education and clinical practice.
