Women’s Health
Caring more about women’s health care
For too long women’s health issues have neither been understood nor funded effectively. From research into diseases that are more prominent in women, to empowering health care workers, to a lack of training in the unique ways some illnesses present in women, there are many barriers to achieving the breakthroughs in care women need.
Our vision
Making the future of women’s health a priority in Southern Alberta.
Dr. Erin Brennand is part of the team leading research and understanding in women’s health that will make Calgary a national leader.
Bringing women’s health information directly to women
Being informed is one of the most effective ways to take control of your health. That’s why we launched a YouTube outreach program that covered everything from the expected to the uncomfortable: the Women’s Health Series. We also launched separate videos to address women’s questions and concerns surrounding COVID vaccines and women’s health, specifically for pregnant women and moms who are breastfeeding and their babies.

Mental Health
Furthering the conversation: Support for mental health that can’t wait.
In this changing world, the need for critical mental health services is increasing. We must ensure the best care is available at the right time.
Five areas of focus
Trauma informed space design in hospitals needs to be an investment
Mental health peer support and patient advocacy in hospitals is critical
Stronger support networks are needed for patients transitioning to community care
Investment in research and innovation will continue to evolve care
More supports are critical for frontline staff to treat mental health and addictions issues in tandem with urgent issues
Dr. Monty Ghosh is rethinking mental health and addictions care delivery by bringing care to people where they are at.
