Join Us and Take Charge of Your Health

Hello friends!

We are the Sexual Health Empowerment (SHE) team at the University of Kansas Medical Center and we’re so happy you’ve come to the SHE Women website. Our goal is to empower women leaving jails by providing honest cancer prevention and sexual health information that fits their lives and the unique challenges they face after incarceration. Improving health literacy, reducing risks and increasing preventive screenings is the ultimate goal.

This website is currently part of a research project aimed at developing the most appropriate ways to deliver essential health information to these women. It is our hope that once the research project is completed, the website will be open and available to all the women that can benefit from it.

Feel free to check out some of our other work here. If you need health resources around the Kansas City, Topeka, or Wichita area, please click here.
