About the Summit

Despite remarkable advances in science and technology, women remain underrepresented in research, underserved in care, and underfunded in innovation. Together, we will explore cutting-edge diagnostics, breakthrough therapies, inclusive research, and equitable access – advancing solutions that improve outcomes for women and girls locally, nationally, and globally.

Set against a national backdrop where funding and policy support for women’s health are being rolled back, California, and Sacramento in particular, stand out as a place of progress and possibility. This summit positions the region as a hub for innovation at the intersection of healthcare, research, and entrepreneurship.

Whether you are developing solutions, delivering care, shaping policy, advocating for equity, or investing in what’s next, your voice is essential in redesigning the system and driving change.
