The UW Global Center for Integrated Health of Women, Adolescents and Children (Global WACh) at the University of Washington aims to have global breadth, and is unique in its lifecycle lens approach to the integration of woman, child, and adolescent health, and its focus on supporting discovery, leadership, and collaboration. Through collaboration, we aim to foster new areas of research, create innovative solutions, and develop leaders who have the benefit of a multidisciplinary approach.
Vision
We envision a world in which communities recognize the value of women, children and youth by assuring them access to quality health services and the educational, social and economic opportunities necessary to achieve health and well-being.
