A Lifetime of Care: Rethinking Chronic Illness in Women's Health

Chronic conditions are a major and often overlooked issue in Canadian women's health.


From cardiovascular disease to diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and mental health conditions, women face unique challenges in managing long-term health issues. This panel will explore the intersection of gender, chronic illness, and healthcare access in Canada, emphasizing the physical, emotional, and social impact these conditions have on women. 


This panel will explore the urgent need for more research, better healthcare policies, and 
targeted treatments to improve outcomes for women living with chronic conditions. 
We invite you to be part of this essential and timely conversation.
