The Healthcare System Isn’t Listening To Women — Yet

In this episode of Breaking Silos in Canadian Healthcare, we sit down with four accomplished OB/GYN leaders — Dr. Esther Chin, Dr. Michelle Jacobson, Dr. Nayla Khan, and Dr. Meghan McGrattan — for a thoughtful conversation about women’s health across different stages of life.We explore the reality that women’s health remains under-researched and too often under-addressed, leading to long delays in diagnosis and care. The discussion touches on the importance of listening to patients, the role of leadership in medicine, and the need to move beyond outdated models that leave too many women feeling dismissed or unheard.Across the conversation, the panel reflects on:- Caring for women medically and surgically across the lifespan.- What it means to lead as women in medicine and healthcare.- How family life, career demands, and professional responsibility intersect.- The cultural and systemic shifts needed to improve women’s health outcomes.- Why common symptoms still too often go untreated or normalized.This is a conversation about leadership, care, and the real-world experience of women working to improve the system from within.Featuring:Dr. Esther Chin, OBGYN & Global Surgery Lead, McMaster University & Hamilton Health Sciences, Co-Founder, STITCH Surgical ModelsDr. Michelle Jacobson, OBGYN & Menopause Specialist, William Osler Health System, Co-Founder & Chief Medical Officer, Coven Women's HealthDr. Nayla Khan, OBGYN, William Osler Health SystemDr. Meghan McGrattan, OBGYN & Endometriosis Surgeon, Mackenzie Health System, Co-Host, The Push PodcastPresented by: Johnson & Johnson MedTechFollow us:Instagram: @breakingsiloscanadaLinkedIn: Breaking Silos in Canadian Healthcare
