140 years ago, Women’s College Hospital was founded by a tenacious group of women who were resolute in their belief that healthcare was for everyone. Our legacy of being first began with them and we haven’t stopped since – the first to be focused on women’s health, the first to open a cancer detection clinic, the first to offer comprehensive reproductive care and the first to design a hospital to keep people out of hospital.
Our “firsts” are rooted in our values of equity, people, quality, courage, curiosity and partnership. They are made possible by our compassionate, persistent and creative clinicians, administrators, scientists, learners and volunteers – and you, our generous donors who believe in our mission to revolutionize healthcare for everyone. We are grateful for all your support.
With you by our side, the future of Women’s College Hospital is bright. In the years ahead, we will be guided by our new strategic plan and our mission to transform healthcare for women and gender diverse people, delivering better outcomes, access and patient experience through equitable and connected care, learning and discovery. We will continue to push boundaries in pursuit of our “next firsts” as progressive leaders challenging the status quo to revolutionize healthcare in our hospital and beyond our walls. 140 years later we are just getting started and the best is yet to come.
