Midlife + Mature Women’s Health

To include an expert and leader who will drive change and stimulate collaboration.
First of its kind program in BC, combining holistic research with wraparound clinical care.
In an unparalleled effort to endorse and advance midlife and mature women’s healthcare and provide them with the support they need, BC Women’s Health Foundation is introducing an exciting and innovative new Mature Women’s Health Campaign. A key component of this landmark initiative includes a Professor to develop the first clinical program with embedded research for midlife and mature women in Western Canada located at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre (BCWH).
Patients will receive care for their complex menopausal symptoms, groundbreaking research will occur and trainees will be educated to provide cutting edge care. The Provincial Health Services Authority and BCWH have put their in-kind support of space, clinical staff and related operational support to ensure the full potential of the professorship can be realized. This visionary leader will also ignite multidisciplinary research that will tie into real-time patient care, collaborate across health authorities, stimulate ground breaking discoveries and revolutionize healthcare in our province for midlife and mature women.
