The Connection Between Women’s Health and Women’s Power

For generations, women around the world have often been expected to quietly navigate health challenges with very little support. They can't get the care they need. They seek answers that medicine simply doesn't have. They're left to live with symptoms that have been misunderstood, dismissed, or simply accepted as a fact of life. Whatever the situation, the message has been the same: Push through and don't complain.

It's a reality Haven Ley, Pivotal's chief strategy officer, and Renee Wittemyer, Pivotal's vice president of program strategy, know well. Drawing on personal experiences and lessons from their work, they explore the legacy of this neglect, the link between women's health and women's power, and why Pivotal is focused on making sure women everywhere can get the right care at the right time.

At the heart of their conversation is a powerful question: If women are already accomplishing so much while managing health challenges, what's possible when they have the care, answers, and support they deserve?
