Top 25 Women of Influence 2017: Katherine Hay

Katherine Hay

President & CEO, Women’s College Hospital Foundation

Kathy Hay leads the team responsible for generating the majority of funding for Women’s College Hospital (WCH) in Toronto. Funds that not only enable WCH to deliver excellent care, but also to conduct groundbreaking research that impacts the health and treatment of women across Canada. Early in the year — largely in thanks to the efforts of Kathy — WCH announced that philanthropist Peter Gilgan and the Canadian Cancer Society would be providing a collaborative $12 million gift to establish The Peter Gilgan Centre for Women’s Cancers, which will further research, education, and innovation in the field. The vision Kathy is helping to realize: to empower patients and their families by transforming care for women’s cancers nationwide.
