Helping Our Women (HOW) was formed in Provincetown, Massachusetts in 1992 as a response to the lack of services available to women with chronic and life threatening illness. In 1993, HOW opened a resource and referral center, acquired non-profit 501(c)3 status, and incorporated. HOW's original focus was serving women with cancer, but in 1994, was expanded to include all women diagnosed with chronic and life threatening illness. HOW was an all volunteer organization until August, 1993, when HOW began to staff the office on a part-time basis. This position became full time (40 hours per week) in January, 1997. HOW now has a full-time Executive Director and a full-time Office Administrator. These two paid positions combined with a corps of committed volunteers work together to achieve the following goals: Provide direct services to women with chronic and life threatening and/or disabling illness that assist in creating a more manageable life style; Provide clients with referrals and advocacy that improves access to health care, social services, and benefit programs; Develop and implement programs that empower and educate women on issues related to health care and well-being and that are inclusive of diverse needs.   Would you like to be added to our E-newsletter, HOW Update, mailing list?  Just click on this link and let us know! info@helpingourwomen.org
