Women's Health Innovation Forum

About

Philadelphia helped pioneer women’s medicine, opening the world’s first medical school for women in 1850. Today, maternal and reproductive health is one of the fastest-growing areas in life sciences, and Philadelphia has the research, clinical expertise, and talent to lead the field. This symposium brings those strengths together to turn collaboration into action.

This half-day symposium at uCity Square convenes researchers, clinicians, advocates, investors, and innovators advancing maternal and reproductive health. Through fireside conversations and expert-led working sessions, participants will explore challenges and opportunities across pregnancy, postpartum care, birth equity, diagnostics, and women’s health technologies while building meaningful connections and collaborations.

TOPICS

How do we build a continuous, coordinated care model, from pregnancy through postpartum, so outcomes are set by biology, not by zip code?
Where do Philadelphia’s institutions, clinicians, and companies have the most to gain by working together…and what would it take to start?
What would it take to move the region’s most promising maternal and reproductive innovations from research into practice?
Who needs to be in the room, and what could we accomplish if we planned as one ecosystem instead of many?

By the end of the day, participants leave with more than ideas. They leave with named next steps, new collaborators, and a shared plan for making Philadelphia a leader in the field it helped create.
