Description
The Women’s Initiative for Screening and Health (WISH) is administered by HRSA’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau, Division of Women’s Health. It supports a multidisciplinary coalition of healthcare providers, academic institutions, and patient-centered organizations to review and recommend evidence-based updates to the HRSA-supported Women’s Preventive Services Guidelines, raise awareness, and increase their use in clinical practice.
The program emphasizes women with limited access to preventive services, including rural, frontier, and tribal communities. Its goals include improving the quality and comprehensiveness of preventive care, increasing patient and provider knowledge, and expanding acceptance by health professional organizations. Optional supplements support expanded dissemination and awareness, or emerging-issues research, implementation science, and innovative program activities.
