The National Women's Law Center is a nonprofit organization that has been working since 1972 to expand opportunities and eliminate barriers for women and their families, with a major emphasis on women’s health, education and employment opportunities, and family economic security.

The Oregon Health & Science University Center for Women’s Health aims to advance and integrate all aspects and modes of health care for women in every stage of life and across the full spectrum of circumstances within the context of research, education, clinical models, health care policy, community action and key partnerships.

Making the Grade on Women’s Health is a collaborative endeavor that relies upon the work of many individuals.  At the National Women’s Law Center, the primary authors of the 2010 Report Card—Brigette Courtot, Judy Waxman, and Marcia D. Greenberger—were greatly assisted by Micole Allekotte, Gretchen Borchelt, Kathryn Dickerson, Danielle Garrett, Aimee Ghosh, Julia Kaye, Lisa M. LeMair, Grace Lesser, Jocelyn Moore, Jill Morrison, Katherine Gallagher Robbins, Sofia Rosenblum, Kinpritma Sangha, Emily Stark, Stephanie Sterling, Julia Strasser, and Maya Tuchman. At Oregon Health & Science University the primary author was Michelle Berlin, who was assisted by Devin Kepler. Colleen Goodman and Al Meltzer of Quality Resource Systems Inc. also contributed greatly to this report. In addition, the Report Card authors are grateful for the assistance of Elizabeth Nash of the Guttmacher Institute, Sarah Steverman of Mental Health America, and Amy Melnick and Mary Waterman of the Arthritis Foundation.

The Marjorie Cook Foundation, Ford Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, John D. & Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Overbrook Foundation, Scherman Foundation and Turner Foundation provided financial support for the Report Card. Additionally, sanofi-aventis U.S. provided support for the Report Card’s “The Past and Future in Women’s Health: A Ten-Year Review and the Promise of the Affordable Care Act and Other Federal Initiatives” section.
