Director’s Spotlight
Black Womxn’s Health & Livelihood Initiative Celebrates 5 Years!
Surrounded by community members, partners, patients, allies, and friends, the Black Womxn’s Health and Livelihood Initiative (BWHLI) recently gathered to celebrate the past five years of collaboration, connectivity, and serving our community. We gathered to recognize and honor that we have worked to provide quality health care, create innovative programs, strategize and implement necessary systems change, and care for and nurture our beautiful Black community.

Honoring Dr. Nancy Milliken, MD
With deep gratitude, we bid a fond farewell to our Founding Director, Dr. Nancy Milliken, as she retires after almost 40 years at UCSF. Dr. Milliken dedicated her career to eliminating health disparities for women. Help us honor this incredible legacy by supporting our efforts to endow a professorship for women’s health leadership in Dr. Milliken’s name. These funds will ensure that improving women's lives remains a priority at UCSF for decades to come.
