We’re changing the landscape of women’s health in Canada.
WHCC is a strategic alliance of Canada’s leading women’s health and hospital foundations working together to advance equity in women's health through unified action. Our vision is a future for Canada and the world where every woman receives the high-quality care they deserve at all stages of her life. We fund and support equitable research, build partnerships and alliances that propel change, and deliver data-driven, educational content to empower and inform women across Canada.
Through intentional collaboration, WHCC brings together resources, fundraising, education, advocacy, and some of the brightest minds in science and healthcare together to address the wider gaps we can’t tackle on our own. We work alongside partners who share our vision to improve outcomes and drive lasting change in women’s health
(1) Please note, when WHCC refers to “women”, we are referring to women in all their diversity, inclusive of LGBTQiIA+ individuals.
Our Network
Our network of researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals are working hard every day to bring life-changing data and care to Canadian women.
We’re united in:
- Funding medical research that addresses the needs of women
- Raising awareness on the gender health gap
- Dispelling misconceptions about women’s health
- Broadening the scope and reach of world class women’s health programs
- Creating higher standards of care for every woman
Our Team
Led by the Executive Director, the Women’s Health Collective Canada brings together some of the country’s brightest minds in science and fundraising. Across Canada, WHCC is supported by the philanthropy and partnerships teams at our four member foundations. Together, this group of dedicated professionals is working to create meaningful partnerships, deliver impactful programs and build a healthier future for all women.
”As a woman and a mother, I can identify wholeheartedly with this mission. We represent more than half of Canada's population, yet our specific health needs are too often overlooked or misrepresented. It is time for change. Together, with our member foundations and partners, we have the power to make history by reshaping the future of women's health in Canada.
