Advancing women's health

Staff from the Women's Health Initiative at UB recently presented Marion Ahles (right) with a framed copy of an article on the WHI that was published last month in the Refresh section of The Buffalo News. Ahles, who turned 104 last summer and is pictured here with her daughter, Donna Schweikert, volunteered during the mid-1990s to become part of the WHI, a federally funded, groundbreaking study that has yielded major discoveries on chronic diseases that affect postmenopausal women.
