Meeting Health Needs
With your support, our teams are creating new programs to address the unique needs of women when it comes to their health, including the first and only women’s cardiac rehabilitation program and Canada’s largest women’s mental health program. Women’s College Hospital is also driving solutions to close health gaps for underserved and marginalized populations including Indigenous peoples, the 2SLGBTQ+ community, survivors of violence, and more.
