WOMEN'S COLLEGE HOSPITAL FOUNDATION

Women's College Hospital Foundation is a proud founding member of Women’s Health Collective Canada, a first-of-its-kind strategic alliance working to build an equitable future for women’s healthcare and research through unified advocacy across Canada. Women’s College Hospital Foundation supports Women’s College Hospital, Canada’s first and only fully independent, ambulatory hospital focused on women’s health. For over 135 years, Women’s College Hospital has been pushing limits, breaking barriers and closing critical health gaps to ensure health equity for women and for everyone. Today Women’s College Hospital is Canada’s leader in health for women and health equity for all. Key focus areas at Women’s College Hospital include women’s heart health, women’s mental health, family medicine, care for victims of sexual assault and domestic violence, surgical innovation, women’s cancers, and care for marginalized communities such as refugees, Indigenous communities and the trans population. Women’s College Hospital is also home to Women’s Virtual, Canada’s first virtual hospital, which launched in 2019. Leveraging the power of technology to connect people and systems, Women’s Virtual is breaking down barriers to healthcare and ensuring that care is delivered in the way that best meets the needs of every individual. Not only will Women’s Virtual improve healthcare and improve lives, it will dramatically reduce the strain on the health system – reducing wait times, keeping people out of hallways and ensuring health providers are fully equipped to deliver the best care possible.
