For too long, critical health issues affecting women before, during, and after menopause have been under-researched and under-treated. Sinai Health is changing that.

There is an outdated concept that women’s health can be reduced to what a bikini covers, leaving the rest of the body overlooked in research and care. But, women have suffered in silence for too long. It’s time for answers about women’s health.   

Sinai Health's Pelvic Pain Clinic

As one of the only places in Canada with specialized, interdisciplinary pelvic pain expertise, it is at the forefront of advancing endometriosis care for women across the country. Fuelled by the generosity of our community, experts like Dr. Olga Bougie, a gynaecologist at Mount Sinai Hospital and Head of Research in Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain at Sinai Health, are advancing endometriosis care with earlier diagnosis, innovative treatments and specialized surgical training.

Weston and O’Born Centre for Mature Women’s Health

Sinai Health is one of the only academic centres in the world to make menopause and women’s health a key strategic priority. At the heart of this work is the Weston and O’Born Centre for Mature Women’s Health, a world-leading Centre which aims to drive a transformative shift in the way health care is delivered to women throughout their lives.

We know that menopause is only one part of a larger story. As hormone levels decline, there are larger health implications for women’s heart and brain health, and broader consequences on their mental well-being.

That’s why Sinai Health is committed to investing in research, education and integrated care that can improve women’s health outcomes across all life stages. But we need our community to make this crucial work possible.

By supporting The Down There Affair, you’re helping improve care for women today. But you’re also fuelling discoveries which will ensure they are cared for long into the future.

Thank you for helping us create a brighter future for women everywhere.
