As Canada recognizes National Nurses Week and Hospital Week, we spotlight the future of healthcare—not just as a system, but as a human experience.

In this powerful episode, Jenny sits down with Jennifer Van Noort, one of Canada’s most respected leaders in healthcare philanthropy. As the Chief Development Officer at the Ottawa Hospital Foundation, Jennifer shares the human stories behind the headlines—from transformative gifts to the future of medicine, and how she’s leading with both strategy and heart.

Together, they explore:

• The importance of purpose-driven leadership in fundraising

• What it takes to build trust with donors and community partners

• How equity and innovation are shaping the new hospital campus in Ottawa

• The Foundation’s bold steps toward gender parity in leadership

• And the personal “why” that keeps Jennifer grounded through it all

This episode is for anyone who believes that philanthropy isn’t just about money—it’s about people. And when we center compassion, courage, and inclusion, we can build healthcare systems that serve all of us, not just some of us.

Tune in and be inspired by a conversation that proves the future of philanthropy is deeply human—and undeniably powerful.
