Board Explores What Women Want
What women want and need continue to be explored by the OSF Saint Anthony Women’s Health Advisory Board as part of the Medical Center’s commitment to women’s health issues.
Board members meet quarterly and provide advice and counsel on women’s health issues to the administration of OSF Saint Anthony.
Made up of representatives from the northern Illinois community, the Advisory Board was established to assist OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center with its women’s programming and services.
