New Director for U-M Women’s
Health Program

The University of Michigan Women’s Health Program welcomes a new director, Jennifer McIntosh. McIntosh has more than 16 years of experience in public relations, marketing, and education. Most recently she served as the program manager for Injury Prevention and Public Relations in the University of Michigan Health System (UMHS) Pediatric Trauma Department where she was the coordinator for Safe Kids Washtenaw County and created a successful child passenger safety program, Mott Buckle Up!, to serve as a nationwide model for how to successfully integrate a child passenger safety program into a hospital.

McIntosh has always been passionate about learning and educating others, and she is excited about the opportunity to inspire women to actively participate in managing their health. Timothy Johnson, professor and department chair, UMHS Obstetrics and Gynecology, says, “We are pleased to have Jennifer McIntosh join the Women’s Health Program leadership. Her background in health education is a perfect match for the strategic priorities of the program—improving how we provide care for and reach out to UMHS patients and our community. Her knowledge, energy and enthusiasm will help the UMHS Women’s Health Program set and achieve new goals and provide access to the best in women’s health care, research and educational materials and opportunities.”
