Indianapolis's Leading Whole Health Provider for Women in Urban Communities
Centers of Wellness for Urban Women (CWUW) is Indianapolis's premier nonprofit dedicated to the whole health and well-being of women in urban communities — addressing not only physical health but also the mental, emotional, social, and environmental forces that shape a woman's life. Founded in 2007, CWUW has spent 19 years rooted in the belief that every woman deserves access to care that sees her fully.
At CWUW, we serve women who are navigating chronic illness, mental health challenges, social isolation, and the daily weight of systemic inequity. Many of the women we serve face multiple barriers to care — limited access to culturally responsive services, economic hardship, and health systems that were never designed with them in mind. They deserve better. We built CWUW for them.
Through our 7 Dimensions of Wellness framework, CWUW serves more than 500 women annually through wraparound support, health education, and health screening services. Our programs — Sisters Together, Connection 4 Wellness, Life Rhythms, and the Young Women's Advisory Council — meet women where they are and walk alongside them toward lasting wellbeing. Our services are offered at no cost to participants, made possible through the generosity of grant funders, corporate partners, and individual donors who believe in health equity for all women.
