We are committed to improving health care for women in the province of Nova Scotia. We are working with government, medical professionals and industry to improve access to procedures critical to women's health. Our aim is to reduce wait times and give doctors the tools they need to deliver the best care possible.
The Orchid Gala Women's Health Initiative has raised over $1.2 million to directly fund new infrastructure, technology and equipment at the Dartmouth General Hospital and the IWK Women's Health Centre.

Deanne Reeve was a generous soul who truly touched all who met her. She passed away in 2020 following a late diagnosis of cervical cancer. The new Pelvic HealthSuite at the Dartmouth General Hospital that will bear her name, will improve access to pelvic health care and procedures, reduce wait times, and save lives
