In 1917 the Medical Women’s National Association (later renamed AMWA) established a war service committee in order to create a census of the medical women in the country and to plan how to apply their resources to the war effort. ​​The war service committee, later named the American Women’s Hospitals Service, decided to take charge by providing medical service abroad and establishing military hospitals overseas.

Although the armistice was signed a year later, the ensuing local wars, revolutions, earthquakes, famine, and millions of destitute refugees meant that medical assistance remained urgently needed around the world. AWHS expanded its service at home and abroad in order to address the thousands who looked for help.

Today, AWHS continues the legacy of our founders through working with AMWA as its charitable arm, supporting independent clinics outside the US offering essential medical care to diverse populations.
