Message from the Foundation

As we reflect on the last year as a Foundation, we are reminded of our primary reason for being: to support Women’s College Hospital’s work to uplift medical care in a revolutionary way. From being the first hospital in Canada that allowed women to practice medicine 140 years ago, to now leading groundbreaking research in women’s health – our hospital is no stranger to making critical, life-saving advances for women and other equity-deserving populations. 

From revolutionary research that detects and prevents heart disease in women, to leading on mental health programs for postpartum mothers, your support and passion are evident in each and every research, discovery, program, and patient story we tell. For that, we are endlessly grateful. 

Every day at Women’s, we see the impact of donor involvement and support. Mothers, sisters, daughters, and community members get to live another day in good care and good health – because of our hospital, and because of the generosity of people like you. 

Women are leaders, visionaries, and trailblazers. They are the backbones of our communities, families, and nations – and they deserve care that sees and meets them in all of their amazing and distinct qualities. 

Over the next few pages, we have gathered stories about innovation, resilience – and most importantly, belief. Because none of this work could have happened without the belief of our community and the support of our donors – those individuals, corporations and foundations who help blaze new trails. Our journey is evermore, and we are so grateful for your unwavering compassion and support. 

As we look forward to another 140 years, we thank you for your trust and boundless generosity as we continue making history.
