On May 29, 2008, Maureen McTeer, Chair of the Shirley E. Greenberg Women’s Health Centre at the Riverside Hospital in Ottawa, was recognized at the inaugural DIVA Award where she received the DIVA Award for Outstanding Contributions to Women’s Health and Well-Being for her ongoing commitment to promoting women’s health and well-being.
The Right Honourable Beverley McLachlin, Chief Justice of Canada, offered a tribute to Ms. McTeer. The event, hosted by CTV’s Canada AM host Marci Ien, was attended by hundreds of health care leaders, Federal MPs and Senators. Ms. McTeer was accompanied by her husband, the Right Honourable Joe Clark and daughter, television host Catherine Clark.
Maureen McTeer chose the Shirley E. Greenberg Women's Health Centre in Ottawa as the charity to receive the donation of $10,000 as part of the DIVA Award. This money will be used to help create a new Clinical Chair in Women's Health Research at the Centre.
