Health Research
Deepening our partnership with Women’s Health Collective Canada.
Program overview
Shoppers Foundation for Women’s HealthTM is proud to partner with Women’s Health Collective Canada (WHCC), the largest non-government funder of women’s health research in Canada.
Funding supports a variety of projects, including vital work at the BC Women’s Health Foundation Menopause Centre, where a team is focused on developing and evaluating training for primary care practitioners. As well as work at the McGill University Health Centre where researchers are studying the impact of menopause on cardiovascular, metabolic, and bone health.
Excluding women from health research has created significant gaps in our knowledge of their specific health needs.
This investment is more than generosity, it’s leadership. Shoppers Foundation for Women's HealthTM has believed in our work from the beginning, and they’ve helped shape a movement. With this renewed commitment, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a new standard of care for menopause in Canada something long overdue. Together, we’re reaching more women, funding more research, and making the case for system-wide change.”
