Vitally Important — Canada’s National Women’s Health Summit
The first ever national summit on the state and future of women’s health in Canada.
For too long, women’s health has been underfunded, under-researched, and misunderstood. It’s time to change that.
Join doctors, researchers, community leaders, and women’s health advocates for this vital national conversation — and be part of the growing movement for better health for all women.
More than a gathering, Vitally Important: Canada’s National Women’s Health Summit is a national platform for progress — a multi-day event convening leaders, voices, and allies shaping the future of women’s health in Canada.
Vitally Important: Canada’s National Women’s Health Summit 2026 will bring together health advocates, experts and allies for two days of dynamic presentations, research highlights, and bold conversations — spotlighting what’s new in women’s health research, innovation, and system-level change, and where we go from here. It’s a national platform to exchange ideas, accelerate progress, and chart new ways of working toward a healthier future for all women in Canada.
Co-hosted by Women’s Health Collective Canada, the Canadian Partnership for Women and Children’s Health (CanWaCH), the Partnership for Women’s Health Research Canada (PWHR), and the Pan-Canadian Women’s Health Coalition, the event will unite experts, advocates, community leaders and women with lived experience to tackle the issues that most affect women’s health – from prevention and diagnosis to care delivery and innovation – through panels, talks, and collaborative sessions that highlight the science, stories, and solutions driving progress.
