Betty Ford - As First Lady, Betty Ford directed her efforts toward the arts, handicapped children and women's issues. She was also very involved in working toward the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment.

When diagnosed with breast cancer, First Lady Betty Ford became an honest and vocal advocate for increased awareness about this and other women's health issues. Mrs. Ford helped millions to understand their illness and take personal responsibility for their bodies.

In 1978, an autobiography, The Times of My Life, chronicled Mrs. Ford's life through the White House years. Mrs. Ford's second book, Betty: A Glad Awakening was published in 1987. In this book she recounts her own recovery from chemical dependency in 1978.

Betty Ford has been an active and outspoken advocate for improved awareness, education and treatment for alcohol and other drug dependency. Mrs. Ford and Leonard Firestone were co-chairmen and founders of the Betty Ford Center at Eisenhower, located in Rancho Mirage, California, opening in October 1982. The Center's treatment program assists women, men and their families in starting the process of recovery from alcoholism and other drug dependency. Today it is regarded as the outstanding treatment facility in the Nation.

In October 1999, President and Mrs. Betty Ford were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal for "dedicated public service and outstanding humanitarian contributions." The medal represents Congress's highest expression of appreciation and is inscribed "Lives of service, Examples of Integrity."

Today, Mrs. Betty Ford serves as an active, hands-on Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Betty Ford Center . She also continues to be very involved with handicapped children, the arts, the importance of early detection of breast cancer, arthritis, AIDS and other women's issues.
