Resource Highlight: Women’s Health in Women’s Hands

Women’s Health In Women’s Hands (WHIWH) is a Community Health Centre for racialized women living in Toronto and surrounding municipalities. Their primary health care team of highly skilled health care professionals specialize in the health and wellness needs of racialized women and prioritizes those from African, Caribbean, Latin American and South Asian communities.
