Leading by Example: Physician Champions for the IWK

The Physician Champion Program is designed specifically to fundraise for the IWK Foundation in support of women’s and children’s health and mental health and to grow a community of physician leaders. 

When you become a Physician Champion, you empower others in our healthcare community and encourage your peers to view philanthropy as an act worthy of their consideration. Moreover, your generous support will deepen your connection to the organization and will improve the lives of patients, your patients, in their greatest moment of need.

As leaders within the medical staff community at IWK Health, your support is vital as it showcases your commitment to the IWK. 

Your donation will help ensure the IWK is able to meet the most urgent priority needs in the areas of Children’s Health, Women’s Health, Mental Health & Addictions and the Emergence Redevelopment project at the IWK.
