A Sisterhood of Care
The Women's Committee
Fighting Cancer & Supporting Women's Health
We are Passionate about women's health
Over the past three decades, The Women's Committee of Martha Jefferson Hospital has raised more than $6 million to fight breast cancer through beloved community events, including Martha's Market and In The Pink Tennis & Pickleball.
From free breast health screenings to free wigs and scarves at Marianne's Room to cancer care and survivorship, programs made possible by The Women's Committee ensure that everyone in our community has a fair and just opportunity to access the care they deserve for themselves and their families.
We are making a difference for women in our community and having fun doing it. Come join us!
