Happy International Women's Day! ❤

From the bedside to the boardroom, women are the backbone of health care — and today we celebrate every single one of them.

To the researchers, clinicians, caregivers, innovators and leaders at University Hospital Foundation and across our health care community: thank you for driving innovation, advancing research and transforming patient care every day. You lead. You inspire. You give — and in doing so, you change lives.

Ahead of International Women's Day, University Hospital Foundation's own Dr. Jodi Abbott delivered the keynote at the RBC International Women's Day Breakfast yesterday morning, March 6.

Her message cuts to the heart of what real change requires — not slogans, not checkboxes, but daily leadership decisions. Who gets the opportunity. Who gets named. Who gets sponsored.

$2.9 million. That's what happens when a community leads with its heart. ❤️

We are so proud to share that our community has raised $2.9 million over the past year to support cardiac advancements and care at the Mazankowski Alberta Heart Institute — including $450,000 raised during this year's Heart Month campaign, presented by Freson Bros.

These funds will directly support cardiac disease prevention through programs like Heartway and Caring for our Hearts, as well as life-saving technology including future upgrades to the Cardiac Hybrid Operating Room at the Maz.

None of this happens without you. Thank you to every donor, sponsor, cyclist, baker and cheerleader who made Heart Month one for the books.

Heart disease doesn't take a break — and neither does your generosity. Donate year-round at GivetoUHF.ca
