We are pleased to tell you that
in 2006 we
celebrated the fact that Women’s Health Clinic has been providing health
care, information and advocacy to women for twenty-five years. As we
celebrated our twenty-fifth anniversary, we also looked to the future and
continued our reputation for innovation. We are currently working with our
partners in the community and government to develop a proposal for Manitoba’s
first Birth Centre. Building on the experience in other countries and
provinces, we hope to soon be able to offer high-quality, midwifery care to
birthing women in a client-centred environment. Celebrating 25 years of
Empowerment, Choice and Action
Over the last year, we have been commemorating Women's Health
Clinic's 25th anniversary. We have had the opportunity to celebrate at
our annual "Stepping Out for Women's Health" event where we were entertained
by the legendary Heather Bishop and set a new high in our fundraising efforts
for our Endowment Fund. We are also taking this opportunity to reflect
on our strong roots and plan for future growth in new directions.
And Thank You to all our supporters who have contributed either through direct donations, through the United Way "Donor Directed Giving Program", the Manitoba Government "All Charities" Campaign and through anonymous donations.
