UCeed Child Health and Wellness Fund
Canada's first early-stage investment fund for child and maternal health, creating positive health impacts for children and families.
UCeed Child Health is funded by the generosity of our community through the Alberta Children’s Hospital Foundation and their mission to inspire our community to invest in excellence in child health, research and family centred care.
Whether it's making sure that families have access to quality health care and child care, or making sure that our children receive the best educational opportunities we can give them, we must remain committed to these needs because our children are our future.

Clinical Advisory Board
The marketplace success of novel therapeutics, diagnostics, medical devices, and other healthcare products often depends on nuanced factors that require frontline clinician feedback to assess. The Clinical Advisory Board (CAB) is a group of physician volunteers who leverage their networks to connect UCeed Health staff to frontline clinicians who provide feedback on the clinical utility and feasibility of healthcare products and services in development by prospective investee companies. We are deeply grateful for their valuable assistance.
