Women are hungry for a healthcare system that answers our questions, meets our needs, understands our pain and offers solutions.

October 15, 2026, WME held our inaugural Women’s Health Summit that brought together the world’s leading researchers, philanthropists, founders, and investors alongside advocates and policymakers like WME clients Mandy Moore and Emmy Rossum, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer, and California gubernatorial candidate Xavier Becerra.

Women are expected to spend 25% more of their lives in poor health, relative to men, and the bulk of this is during our working years. We built this Summit on the core belief that women’s health is not a “niche” issue, and by forging the right connections across industries, we can help close the gaps in funding, research, and understanding. Thank you to all of our colleagues who attended and to the WME agents and executives who engaged our clients and brought attendees who share a passion for this work.

We wanted to share a few powerful moments from the event and, because everyone has a part to play,  the opportunity to donate to the WME x Foundation for Women’s Health Catalytic Research Fund, a partnership to catalyze our community to close the research gap for critical issues like endometriosis, PCOS/PMOS, postpartum mental health, miscarriages, menopause, and more. You’ll find recordings from the day. We hope these messages leave you feeling inspired, empowered, and connected with opportunities to take action.

We are excited to continue the momentum and will be building out additional programming on these topics. If you have clients who would like to engage with us, please reach out. We can support and build custom engagements on topics most important to your clients.

This day would not have been possible without the extraordinary efforts of Ginger Chan, Marie Sheehy, Jeanell English, Dakota Ortiz, Sherif Hamid, Colby Hall, Amy Kim, Nic Mercado, Nicholas Griggs-Drane, Mari Dwyer, Emily Leja, Kelen Tamurian, Rachel Moore, Woodrow-Sterling Scypion, Tori Grossman, Jonathan Plarr, Emily Newman, Lorenzo Wong, Jael Ellman, Idalys Madrigal, Jana-Lynn Louis, Emma Gorin, Precious Nibigigwe, Bella Obando, Taylor Arrogante, Yari Romero, Aman Tune, Lizzy Irwin and our colleagues at HELLER. 

We’re so proud to champion this work. Thank you again for being a part of this movement.
