Women's College Hospital

Established over 100 years ago, the WHC has become a global leader in healthcare for women and health equity. They are founded on the principle that everybody deserves equitable, compassionate, high quality and efficient healthcare. "We aim to confront gender and social inequities that threaten people’s health; to bring virtual care into the mainstream; and to reimagine how healthcare services are delivered so we can help solve our health system’s most urgent issues and close the health gaps for all". The Women’s College Hospital also have a very active social media presence where they try to educate the online community about issues relating to health equity. In 2016, they ran a campaign titled 'close the #healthgap' which was designed to raise awareness on the issue as a whole, using gender as a lense in which to educate. The campaign also aimed to raise money to build a new hospital and for conducting research. They utilise influencer relations as a strategy, featuring influencers not only in the health and fitness niche, but ones with a large female audience. Because of this, the hospital saw an exceptional increase in donations and volunteer requests.
