Twenty years ago today, the Women's Health Education Center opened on the campus of Baxter Regional Medical Center, thanks to the vision and leadership of the late Mary Wren, MD. She envisioned a place where women of all ages could find support and resources to help them with whatever challenges they were facing.
A Women's Health Advisory Board was formed, funds were raised by Baxter Health Foundation, and the center opened on Thursday, September 8, 2005. It was dedicated in 2008 as the Schliemann Center for Women’s Health Education after the late Josee Schliemann, a Women’s Health Advisory Board founding member and generous friend to Baxter Health Foundation.
Today, the Baxter Health Schliemann Center for Women's Health continues its mission to promote good health and well-being for women in every stage of their lives. We appreciate the continued support of the Schliemann Center and look forward to many more great years ahead!
