Do you ever feel the most important questions about women+ health still aren’t being answered?

The Maritime Women+ Health project, led by Dr. Justine Dol at IWK Health, is working to change that. This initiative invites women+ caregivers, healthcare providers, and community members across NS, NB, and PEI to share the top five health questions that matter most to them.

Your participation ensures the future research, funding, and policy decisions truly reflect the real-world needs in our region.

If you are 18 or older and live in the Maritimes, join the survey at the link below.

Next week is Lab Professionals Week, and we are shining a massive spotlight on the scientists in our embryology and andrology labs. 🌟

These experts work with microscopic precision (quite literally) every single day to help bring little bundles of joy into this world. They often work behind the scenes, but their dedication and skill are at the very heart of every success story. 🔬

Say hello to Karen, our Licensed Practical Nurse with over 30 years of experience in the medical field. She holds a Diploma in Practical Nursing from Algonquin College. Throughout her career—many of those years spent serving with the Canadian Armed Forces as a Medical Assistant and Operating Room Technician—Karen has built a reputation not only for her skill, but for her compassionate approach to patient care.

Patients often remark on how supported and at ease they feel with Karen by their side. Her kindness and calm presence make a meaningful difference during what can be a very emotional journey.

A proud Cape Bretoner, Karen brings both heart and dedication to everything she does. We are so fortunate to have her at Atlantic Fertility, and our patients are too. ❤️

Two of the most common tests we use to check the health of your uterus and fallopian tubes are Sonohysterogram and Hysterosalpingogram (HSG).

🔹A Sonohysterogram is performed at our Atlantic Fertility clinic. It is radiation-free and uses sterile salt water + ultrasound.

🔹A Hysterosalpingogram is performed at the IWK. It uses contrast dye + X-ray and involves a small amount of radiation.
