Who we are. What we do. How we are #FindingTheFractures in women's health to make a difference.

We stand for women and women’s health. The Alberta Women's Health Foundation is a fundraising brand of the Royal Alexandra Hospital Foundation supporting the advancement of care and research in women's health. The initiative exists to fill urgent gaps in women’s health research, an area historically underfunded and sometimes nonexistent. A new report authored by the Alberta Women's Health Foundation reveals COVID-19's devastating toll on Alberta women's health. Finding the Fractures: The Pandemic, Women's Health Disparities, and the Path to Equity shows the pandemic has exacerbated historical inequities in women's health.
