Top 50 Women in Health Includes SWHR Leaders
Leading women’s cialis magazine Woman’s Day named their top 50 “Women Who Are Changing the World” and included Society for Women’s Health Research (SWHR) President and CEO Phyllis Greenberger, and Immediate Past SWHR Board Chair, Dr. Nanette Wenger, among the honorees.
The magazine honored Greenberger for her tireless efforts advocating for the advancement of women’s health research and the study of biological sex differences. She is well-respected for her dedication to improving women’s health through advocacy, education and research, and has earned wide spread media coverage for her work. Besides her inclusion in Woman’s Day, The Medical Herald selected Greenberger as one of the 20 most influential women in medicine today and in 2006 she was named one of Washington’s 100 most powerful women by Washingtonian Magazine. Greenberger has presented to multiple international and national audiences as well as co-edited The Savvy Woman Patient: How and Why Sex Impacts Your Health. Her inclusion in Woman’s Day continues to signal the importance of researching sex differences and including women in clinical trials.
Working in medicine for more than 50 years, Wenger has made many contributions toward preventing heart disease in women and cardiac rehabilitation. Woman’s Day honored Wenger for “changing the world by promoting awareness of heart disease in women.” A past VP of the American Heart Association, she earned the Distinguished Achievement Award, the Women in Cardiology Mentoring Award and their highest honor, the Gold Heart Award. Wenger is Professor of Medicine in the Division of Cardiology at the Emory University School of Medicine and is Chief of Cardiology at Grady Memorial Hospital and a consultant to the Emory Heart and Vascular Center. She is listed in Best Doctors in America and has authored or coauthored over 1000 scientific and review articles and book chapters. Wenger’s medical expertise and devotion to heart health serves as another reminder why she is one of the top 50 “Women Who Are Changing the World.”
Both women have dedicated their lives to improving the health of women and are well-deserved recipients of the Woman’s Day Top 50 honor. SWHR is proud to support them.
