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.
This year we have partnered with the QEII Foundation to help fund the purchase of a da Vinci Xi robotic surgical system for Women's Gynecology Oncology. This state-of-the-art technology will help provide more precise, less invasive treatments, improving outcomes and recovery times for women facing gynecological cancers.
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.
Following her death, the Orchid Women's Health Initiative was formed and continues to fund infrastructure and equipment to improve access to health care for women in Nova Scotia.
Each year, the Orchid Gala donates a percentage of funds to a charity making a direct and positive impact on women in Nova Scotia.
In 2024, The Orchid Gala gave $30,000 to The United Way Maritimes to help fund one of their charitable initiatives - Supportive Housing for Young Mothers.
In February 2025, the Deanne Reeve Pelvic Health Suite opened at the Dartmouth General Hospital. This state-of-the-art pelvic health suite is the first of it's kind in Atlantic Canada.
It is the first of many such suites we envision for health authorities around Nova Scotia.
