Our team

Composed solely of women, our team of support workers, nurses, and doctors offer a unique approach when working with women where empathy, attentiveness, and respect are at the heart of each interaction. Team members take the time to share information and dispel any myths while respecting the opinions and emotions of each woman.

The testimonials shared by women who have used the Centre’s abortion services demonstrate their level of satisfaction with the quality of procedures, the way they were welcomed, the non-judgment on the choices they made, as well as the warm and respectful support they received.

The Centre de santé des femmes de Montréal is a preferred space for meeting the needs of women. They could rapidly obtain an appointment, receive support and be respected in the choices they make by a non-judgmental team.
