Where Women’s Health Meets Advocacy and Community.
Medicine Without Margins: Her Health is an elevated gala experience bringing together physicians and allied health professionals, advocates, leaders, creatives, and community members for an evening centered on the modern woman’s health experience.
Through thoughtful discussion, artistic storytelling, and shared conversation, the event explores the realities many women-identifying individuals navigate within the Canadian healthcare system — while creating space for education, empowerment, and collective change.
Hosted in support of the Foundation of International Medical Graduates, proceeds from the evening will contribute toward advocacy, education, and systems-focused initiatives within healthcare and medical training environments as per the Foundation of International Medical Graduates’ mission since establishment in February 2020.

Why This Event Matters
Women’s health conversations are evolving — but many women still feel unheard, unsupported, or left navigating healthcare systems alone. Canada is not excluded in this.
Medicine Without Margins: Her Health was created to foster meaningful dialogue, bridge lived experience with professional insight, and create a space where women and their supporters feel informed, seen, and connected.
This is more than a gala. It is a growing movement toward more compassionate, inclusive, and informed healthcare experiences.
