6 Trailblazing Female Founders in Women’s Healthcare

Nearly half of all young American women have had negative experiences in healthcare settings. That number is largely disproportionate to the percentage of men who report unpleasant experiences. Yet women also pay disproportionately more. The World Economic Forum reports that the average American working woman spends 18% more on healthcare costs than men.

These 6 founders have created companies with the intention of bringing greater gender equity to the healthcare industry: Ashley Tyrner, CEO and Founder of FarmboxRx; Brooke Boyarsky Pratt, cofounder of Knownwell; Monica Cepak, CEO of Wisp; Dr. Suzette Glasner, Chief Scientific Officer at Pelago; Anu Sharma, CEO and Founder of Millie; Ellen Rudolph, CEO and Co-Founder of WellTheory.
