Women’s Health Collective canada
Women’s Health Collective Canada (WHCC) is an alliance of four of Canada’s leading women’s health and hospital foundations – and is growing.
WHCC was created to break the barriers holding women back from receiving the knowledge and care they deserve. Through intentional collaboration, members bring resources, fundraising, and the brightest minds in science and healthcare together to address the wider gaps women can’t tackle on their own. The national network of researchers, scientists, and healthcare professionals supported by WHCC member foundations are working hard to produce groundbreaking research and bring life-changing care to Canadian women. For too long, women’s health hasn’t received the attention it deserves. WHCC is leading the charge to close the gaps in women’s health, once and for all.
