The Sisterhood Summit
For generations, women's health has faced significant gaps in research, funding, and access to care. The Sisterhood Summit was created to help change that story in the Bow Valley. As the Canmore Hospital Foundation's signature women's health event, the Summit brings together community leaders, healthcare professionals, business owners, and passionate advocates for an afternoon of meaningful conversation, education, and inspiration, all with the shared goal of improving healthcare for women in our region.
More than just a fundraising event, the Sisterhood Summit is about building a community committed to creating lasting change. It provides a platform to explore important women's health topics, hear from expert speakers, celebrate progress, and inspire action while supporting tangible improvements at the Canmore General Hospital. Funds raised through the Summit help provide the equipment, programs, and resources needed to ensure exceptional care is available close to home. As a result, donors become members of the Women's Health Circle, a growing community of donors dedicated to advancing women's healthcare for generations to come.
Together, we are helping close the gap in women's healthcare, strengthening care for women and families across the Bow Valley, and proving what is possible when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Thank you for joining us and for being part of this important movement.
We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Shafeena Premji as this year’s Sisterhood Summit keynote speaker.
Dr. Premji is a Calgary family physician with specialty training in women’s health and menopause care. She is the Founder and Medical Director of Milestone Menopause Centre of Southern Alberta, as well as the founder and director of Mahogany Medical Clinic and The Village Medical. A Menopause Society Certified Practitioner since 2015, she also serves as Secretary of the Canadian Menopause Society, sits on the Medical Advisory Board of the Menopause Foundation of Canada and is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine.
Known for making complex medical information clear and practical, Dr. Premji will present Menopause, Clearly: Facts, Myths and Practical Next Steps, sponsored by FLIS Interior Design.
Perimenopause and menopause can affect far more than periods and hot flashes, yet many women enter this stage without clear, reliable guidance. In this practical, evidence-based keynote, Dr. Premji will explain what is changing in the body, separate common myths and outdated messages from current evidence, and clarify the role of hormonal and non-hormonal treatment options.
Attendees will leave with a stronger understanding of their symptoms, the questions to ask and practical next steps for protecting their health and quality of life through midlife and beyond.
