Women'S Health Research Institute (Whri)

The Women’s Health Research Institute is devoted to improving the health and health care of girls and women through knowledge generation, serving as a catalyst for research in women’s health and supporting an expanding provincial and national network of women’s health researchers, policy makers and healthcare providers. We are a leading academic women’s and newborn health research centre embedded within BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre, and support research activities designed to improve the health and health care of women and their families throughout British Columbia and globally. Our goal is to discover new knowledge to improve the health of girls and women, by communicating research discoveries and success to researchers, stakeholders, and the public.
