In over 60 Wisconsin counties, Women's Health Roundtable Discussions have brought groups of women together to discuss important areas of women health, often over a meal.

Roundtable Hostesses

The Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation recruits a woman from the local community to help host the Roundtable Discussion. The hostess selects the topic for discussion from one of WWHF’s health focus areas, recommends a location and chooses the menu. WWHF works with the hostess to create an invitation list and provides the hostess with invitations to mail to women in the community.

Roundtable Topics & Speakers

The Wisconsin Women’s Health Foundation recruits a qualified healthcare professional to lead the presentation and discussion on one of the following health topics: alcohol cessation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, domestic abuse, mental illness, osteoporosis, and smoking cessation.

Past Discussions

See what our participants enjoyed the most:

“I enjoyed the opportunity to meet and talk with women about women’s issues. We in rural areas seldom have these opportunities.”

“Being able to tell my story of domestic abuse. I told a lot of people (it hurt to tell).”

“I learned about heart disease relating to women. I didn’t realize how many women are affected by it!”

“Getting encouragement to take care of myself.”

“The informality of the question and answer time and approachable female doctors.”
