CWUW believes its important to help women to coordinate  their health services and to support them on their journey for total health.  Health Management and Resource Coordination  (HMRC) will assist women in locating needed services throughout Marion County, develop a prevention care plan working with medical providers, assist in scheduling appointments, tracking services, and helping women to maintain their medical records.

More than Case Management, HMRC is a support system for women to Live Life Well.

Based on the National Community Centers of Excellence on Women's Health model. 

Its not only fundraiser but a concert, an art show, and simply an opportunity for friends to come together to have a good time in a safe, healthy environment!

Center of Wellness for Urban Women (CWUW) believes that social health and wellness activities are vital to total health for women and their families.  Having positive relationships with family and friends helps in keeping your emotional and physical health in check.  

Social health and wellness also incorporates leisure and fun activities that keep you balanced and rejuvenated.
