The Calgary Health Foundation is a philanthropic organization that unites four hospitals, healthcare providers, donors, volunteers, and community partners to support health initiatives. Two initiatives supported by the foundation are described here. The Calgary Eating Disorder Program provides specialized services for Albertans as young as 13 diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other specified feeding or eating disorders; early intervention is emphasised. Eating disorders are noted to have a 5 to 10 percent mortality rate and suicide and cardiac disease are listed as leading causes of death among those with anorexia. The Women’s Mental Health Clinic supports women with moderate to severe mental health concerns who are planning pregnancy, are pregnant, or are up to one year postpartum; the clinic serves over 600 women annually and the listing notes that nearly one in five women will experience mental health difficulties during reproductive years.
Fundraising and participation details shown on the listing include CA$788.99 raised toward a CA$80,000 goal (1 percent) and 143 participants. Title sponsor is Shoppers Drug Mart and national sponsors are listed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
