60 years of helping Canadians live life well – and we’re just getting started

Creating local impact through community partnerships

Shoppers Foundation for Women’s Health operates on a foundational belief: communities thrive when women are healthy. This is what drives our mission to make women’s health visible, by highlighting the often-overlooked dimensions of women’s health in Canada. With an expansive network of over 360 dedicated charity partners, we are focused on delivering critical local impact, addressing a wide array of needs, from mental health support and menstrual equity initiatives to violence prevention programs. These partnerships are fundamental to advancing our mission and amplifying our impact to reach women in diverse communities across the country.

One heart, two homes

Meet Khaled Youssef – a proud father, loving husband and dedicated Shoppers Drug Mart^® Associate-Owner in the town of Perth, Ontario. Khaled grew up in Egypt and from a young age, knew he wanted to help people with their health. He was inspired by his father who was also a pharmacist. After finishing school and working in Egypt for many years, Khaled moved to Canada, hoping to continue the work he loved in a new country – but the journey was much harder than he ever imagined.

Enabling the future of pharmacy

Pharmacies are evolving, transforming from places that just dispense medicine into vital hubs for your health. This notable shift means pharmacists are now key players in your health and wellness journey, offering more care than ever before.
