Innovation
For the most critically ill and premature babies, a dedicated NICU MRI at BC Women’s Hospital will enable immediate imaging—no transport, no anesthesia. This breakthrough technology means faster diagnosis, safer care, and better outcomes. It will also power research to transform the future of neonatal brain health.
Women in midlife face daunting new health challenges. To help them navigate these challenges, this program will combine holistic research with real-time clinical care and will feature a referral clinic. This will lead to improved treatment options and better healthcare experiences.
For high-risk new moms struggling with mental health challenges, North America’s first Perinatal Mental Health Unit will deliver an innovative and integrated model of care that seeks to minimize mother-baby separation – reshaping the future of care for patients, babies and families.
Research is critical to a future with groundbreaking treatments and innovative healthcare. With funding from BC Women’s Health Foundation, the Women’s Health Research Institute is igniting health research for women and newborns, making way for Good Things To Come.
