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.

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.

Say hello to our very own Jen Witmer, MSc, Senior Embryologist & Quality Assurance Manager.

Jen earned her Master’s in Clinical Embryology from the University of Leeds in the UK and brings more than 15 years of IVF laboratory experience from clinics across Canada and the United States. She is a certified Embryologist with the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) and holds both Embryology and Andrology certifications from the American Board of Bioanalysis (ABB) as a Technical Supervisor (TS).

She now oversees the clinic’s Quality Management System and collaborates with every department to uphold the highest standards of care and compliance. There is no one better for this role, as Jen is exceptionally organized & intelligent, with great attention to detail. She’s also simply one of the kindest and most supportive colleagues you could hope to work with. 💖
