Our Mission

Welcome to the Cambridge Women's Commission Community Conversation!
In late 2008, sixty Cambridge community stakeholders and policy and program leaders attended the
Women’s Data Workshop hosted by the Cambridge Women’s Commission.
Initial recommendations in five key areas were proposed:
Economic Issues, Older Women, Women’s Health, Women’s Safety, and Young Women/Girls.

We invite you to use this open forum to share thoughts, comments, ideas and questions about these recommendations and findings.

Women's Health

Finding: The essential health (including mental and oral) needs of Cambridge women are currently at-risk of being underserved.

Recommendation:
  • Create a public awareness campaign that broadens the concept of health and increases the information available to women about various services such as midwifery, dental, substance abuse, psychiatric
  • Host health data forums that target specific populations of women—homeless, immigrant, etc—to hear their concerns and better understand their experience interfacing with various health services
  • Design better access to “one-stop shopping” within the system and provide a more woman-centered setting with an added focus on self-care and holistic health
