should reach every corner of our province.

No matter where someone lives in British Columbia, they deserve access to trusted information, specialized care, and the support they need to navigate their health with confidence.

At BC Women’s Health Foundation, we are supporting the reach of BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre and the Women’s Health Research Institute beyond a single building — connecting communities across the province to leading care, research, education, and expertise.

From expert-led menopause care to life-saving care for newborns, these stories reflect how access to women’s health resources can transform lives, families, and communities.

Together with our partners, we are helping ensure women feel informed earlier, supported sooner, and connected to care no matter their postal code.

Because world-class women’s healthcare should reach every corner of our province.

Historically, menopause is an under-researched, underserved area of women’s health. Those in need of care in our province can benefit from a collaborative approach that spans multi-disciplines and locations. That’s why we’re improving care for women across British Columbia.
