Sexual & Reproductive Health

In 1973, we opened the Bay Centre for Birth Control, the first hospital-supported walk-in clinic.

Today, we've empowered hundreds of thousands of women to take control over their reproductive health.

For more than three decades, the Bay Centre for Birth Control has been the go-to place for compassionate care around sexual and reproductive health.

For many years, the centre was headed by the late Dr. Marion Powell, Women's College Hospital physician and legendary activist. She was known as the "Mother of Birth Control" in Canada and raised the consciousness of a generation.

Today, our service to girls and women of all ages and backgrounds continues unabated. As does a research agenda around sexual health that's driven by technological and medical innovation.

But above all, our abiding commitment to a women's right to information, access and service remains the cornerstone of our care.
