Women spend 25% more time in poor health than men, yet their health has been consistently underestimated, underfunded, and under-researched. But change is happening-and it starts with innovators like you.
The Banking on Women’s Health Innovation Awards recognize bold ideas that improve women’s health and well-being. If you’re working on a game-changing solution, we want to recognize and empower your innovation.
