STATEMENT
The Office on Women's Health was established in 2001 pursuant to N.J.S.A.26:1A-123 et seq. The responsibilities of the office include: heightening awareness of women's health issues Statewide; developing private and public partnerships to improve access to public health services; advocating for the development of effective programs to improve women's health; providing information and resources about women's health services; and coordinating with existing programs that provide women's health services.
Although the office has met many of its statutorily prescribed responsibilities, it has received no State funding since its inception. Consequently, it is supported entirely through federal funds.
