Where women lead, care follows.
In 2025, Markham Stouffville Hospital Foundation launched WITH MSH (Women Inspired To Help MSH) — a dedicated initiative to support health issues that matter to women. WITH MSH united 46 visionary philanthropists and community leaders to invest $460,000 in innovative programs and services at Oak Valley Health’s Markham Stouffville Hospital (MSH). This generous support helped fund our hospital’s priority needs in breast health, gynaecology, and youth mental health — driving meaningful change in patient care.
Building on the groundbreaking success of last year’s launch, MSH Foundation has set a goal to reach 100 WITH MSH members and raise a total of $1 Million towards advancing care at MSH.

About
WITH MSH brings together a diverse group of female leaders who are passionate about making a difference. This dedicated, philanthropic initiative gives members the opportunity to connect, network, and learn about MSH’s evolving needs in patient care.
Following the annual Thrive WITH MSH Lunch on Thursday, September 24, The Final Pitch is WITH MSH’s cumulative event. In a Dragon’s Den styled competition, WITH MSH members will hear from Oak Valley Health experts as they present their case for funding. WITH MSH members will then use their voting power to decide where their collective giving will make its biggest impact.

“WITH MSH is an opportunity for us to bring women together through a shared vision and commitment, and with our collective philanthropy make a difference to the future of health care at Markham Stouffville Hospital. I and my family have used many services at MSH over the past 35 years, so I’m thrilled to be part of the inaugural WITH MSH community and excited about the impact we will make for the future.”
