Women's Health Clinic (WHC) in Winnipeg will be safer, more accessible, and energy-efficient after an investment of $10 million from the federal government.
This was announced by the Honourable Marci Ien, Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Youth, and Kemlin Nembhard, Executive Director of Women's Health Clinic.
Women's Health Clinic provides inclusive, accessible health and wellness services, with a focus on supporting those who identify as women, girls, Two-Spirit, LGBTTQIA, racialized and Indigenous people, newcomers, and those living in poverty. Its services include reproductive health care, mental health support, and gender-affirming care.
Funding will support critical upgrades to the clinic's aging mechanical, electrical, and elevator systems, as well as deep retrofits to enhance resilience and reduce carbon emissions. These improvements will ensure the clinic can continue delivering essential services in a safer, more sustainable environment, and can fully meet accessibility needs for anyone WHC may serve in the future.
