For more than 100 years, Women’s College Hospital has been developing revolutionary advances in healthcare. Our history began in 1883 with the founding of Woman's Medical College. In 1911, we opened the doors of our modest, seven-bed facility on Seaton Street, marking the beginning of a hospital run for women, by women, and reaffirming the tireless work of our pioneers who sought something almost unheard of at the time – a place where female physicians could practice medicine.

Today, we are building on the rich legacy of our courageous founders – women who refused to accept the status quo and who broke down barriers and pushed the boundaries in the pursuit of equity and excellence.
