The Canadian Women's Health Network (www.cwhn.ca) is 
offering free bulk copies (20, 50, 150, or more) of the 
NEW booklet Hidden Health Care Work and Women for 
distribution to your members and networks. (Please note: 
This free offer is available only in Canada.)

Hidden Health Care Work and Women is an illustrated and 
easy-to-read booklet, excellent for the general reader. 
The booklet examines the issues facing the “hidden” 
workers – most of whom are women - that enable our health 
care system to function: the people doing the laundry, 
fixing the meals, filing the test results, analyzing blood 
samples, operating x-ray equipment, staffing the reception 
desk and performing a multitude of other secondary or 
ancillary health care jobs.

Hidden Health Care Work and Women addresses the questions: 
What difference does it make if some health care workers 
are labeled ‘ancillary workers’? What are the consequences 
if some health care workers are relegated to a secondary 
status, pushed to the margins or excluded by an act of 
definition? Why is this a woman’s issue?
