About Women's Health Program

About UHNWomen

UHNWomen is a program to help empower and further uplift TeamUHN and A Healthier World. Women face unique gender-based challenges that span across a wide spectrum. These experiences impact everyone and compromise organizational outcomes – not only in terms of well-being, but also performance. An uplifted culture inspiring and generating interpersonal and organizational support, openness, resources, partnership, multi-directional learning and mentorship, and more, will improve outcomes for all, including staff and patients and across career levels.

Project Purpose

Creation of a multi-year strategic plan with implementation of early, visible wins is needed to re-launch and establish UHNWomen and draw on opportunities to align with numerous resources in research, education, skills-building, networking, both internally to UHN and externally.

The UHN Women's Health Program aims to improve the health and well-being of women through excellence in research, education, clinical care and advocacy. It also aims to build capacity in women's health research through the support of summer students, fellowships and early career researchers. We are currently seeking funds to create women's health summer studentships, fellowships and early career research awards.

The Women's Health Program brings together researchers, educators, clinicians and advocates in the area of women's health, with the goal of providing a network for collaboration and for building capacity in women's health research and education. Our newsletter contains announcements, accomplishments, rounds, conferences and other information.
