How you will make your impact?
WHC Advisory Board Members, Dr. Eileen O’Grady, Bergitta Cotroneo, and Denise Hanna
The Women’s Health Circle (WHC) works to empower the health of the community through educational forums and ongoing conversation. WHC members support Virginia Hospital Center through their personal fundraising and outreach efforts.
The Women’s Health Circle is led by an Advisory Board, which is composed of active and dedicated WHC members and steered by Co-Chairs.

Membership
Women’s Health Circle members commit to supporting Virginia Hospital Center by pledging $5,000 or more, to be paid over a period of five years.
An exclusive benefit to members is an invitation to bi-annual Salons, where a discussion on a female-focused health topic is led by a Virginia Hospital Center Provider. Members are also recognized on the Hospital's Wall of Philanthropy in the Waterfall Atrium.
Funding Priority
The dollars raised through membership are directed towards a specific Hospital priority voted on by WHC members.
In January 2018 it was voted that for the following three years (2018 - 2020), WHC’s funds would be directed to the expansion of the Women’s Imaging Center in the new Outpatient Pavilion.
