We promote access to preventative healthcare for all Texas women.
What causes are we working on?
Our mission.
TWHC is working toward the vision of a state where every woman has access to the preventive and preconception care that will help her stay healthy and prepare for healthy, planned pregnancies.
our principles
We stay committed to these values:
- Increasing funding for women’s preventive healthcare, including contraception, to fully meet the growing need among low-income uninsured women;
- Ensuring Texas has a strong provider network with the capacity to serve all women in need of preventive health services; and
- Supporting innovative new healthcare policies that benefit the health of Texas’ women and families.
We take action for the health and well-being of Texas women.
