Women’s health in Calgary gets multi-year boost thanks to $10M investment through Calgary Health Foundation
Summary
The one-time investment represents a tangible first step toward removing gender disparity in healthcare practice, policy, research, and care.The Premier gave me a clear mandate to improve the health outcomes of women and children in Alberta. These investments will make a real difference in tackling health issues that impact women, promoting overall well-being, and ensuring every Albertan can thrive, no matter their age or stage in life. Through partnerships like the one with Dr. Erin Brennand and the Calgary Pelvic Floor Clinic, the funding will allow us to confront the gaps in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of womens health concerns. Murray Sigler, President & CEO, Calgary Health Foundation.A reduction in waitlist times, the building of additional examination and treatment spaces, the expansion of existing initiatives, and the creation of new innovative programs focused on priorities identified by women are all possible thanks to the new investment.This is an important and meaningful investment that will result in positive outcomes for many women and families in southern Alberta. As partners in healthcare delivery, the Government of Alberta and Calgary Health Foundation recognize the need to expand access and enhance care in this critical area, and for that, we are very thankful.
