An obstetrician and gynecologist, Dr. Haseltine has made the advancement of women's health her life's work. She founded the Society for Advancement of Women's Research in 1990 to bring the issues of women's health to the national research agenda. Dr. Haseltine questioned why women were virtually ignored in so many forms of health research and fought for increased funding. Haseltine has taught us that it's not enough to simply include women in men's health studies. Gender differences have been found to affect everything from the way men and women experience a heart attack to how they process the hormone serotonin, which can affect depression. These findings hold huge implications for the practice of medicine and will lead to more accurate diagnosis and more effective treatments for men and women.
