188: The business case for investing in women's health

Radio Advisory

Women experience healthcare differently compared to men – women consistently have worse outcomes when it comes to chronic diseases, feel unheard, and are oftentimes left out of education and research. Women's health also gets conflated with maternal health, but we know women's health is so much bigger than pregnancy.

Improving women's health outcomes requires a more holistic approach to caring for women, but allocating more dollars when working with limited resources may feel unsustainable to some organizations.

In this episode, host Rachel (Rae) Woods invites Advisory Board's Gaby Marmolejos, Kara Marlatt, and Ellie Wiles to discuss why there's a strong business case to better meet women's needs, including but not limited to maternal health.
