For years, Audrey had been struggling with unsettling symptoms, without any care provider suggesting they might be related to perimenopause or menopause. At the time, this life stage wasn’t on Audrey’s mind and she was concerned her symptoms might be related to a serious medical condition she’d been treated for in her early twenties. She feared a relapse.

Audrey’s symptoms were treated individually and without much relief until her first visit to the Complex Menopause Clinic at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre. Here, for the first time, a doctor listened as she described her full scope of symptoms AND her complex medical history. Through the lens of menopause, a treatment plan was developed to support Audrey.

Your donation to BC Women’s Health Foundation helps fund menopause research, patient care, education for healthcare providers and fact-based resources for women in menopause, like Audrey.

This holiday season, our community showed up in a big way!

Together, we surpassed our matching gift goal, doubling the impact of every donation made to advance women’s and newborn health at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre and the Women's Health Research Institute (WHRI). We’re deeply grateful to everyone who gave, and to our generous matching donor, Global Watch Company and Founder Sassan Pourfar, for making this double impact possible.

Your support is already making a difference and we’re excited to keep this momentum going into 2026!

We are grateful to Global Watch Company and its Founder, Sassan Pourfar, for matching all donations to BC Women’s Urgent Response Fund, up to an extraordinary $200,000. This generous commitment means every gift made between now and December 31 will go twice as far to address the most immediate and unexpected needs in women’s and newborn health care, directly supporting the urgent priorities facing women and newborns across our province.

“My commitment to women’s health is inspired by the remarkable women who shape my life – my family, my friends and my colleagues.

Above all, it is a promise I’ve made to my daughter. She is my world, and investing in women’s health is the most meaningful way I know to help build a healthier and more equitable future for her and for generations to come. I believe we all share a responsibility to act on our values.”
