Close The Healthcare Gap For Women: How Power Up Conference 2024 Can Help: Take The Lead 8/13/2024

The gendered gap in healthcare for those identifying as women from diagnosis, pain treatment, mortality, costs, coverage and data to representation in the industry as well as leadership is both an historical and current critical issue--one literally of life and death.

The need for parity in all aspects of health for women is a topic at Take The Lead’s Power Up Concert & Conference event on Women’s Equality Day in Washington, D.C. Speakers and panelists include Dr. Sophia Yen, MD, co-founder and chief medical officer of Pandia Health, winner of the Leading Company Award; Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum, MD, author, CEO and founder of Adesso & Heart; and Dr. DeShawn Taylor, MD., author and founder of Health Justice MD. Dr. Taylor is receiving the Disrupter Award as the Embrace Controversy Power Tool Champion at the conference.

The Power To Change Our Heathcare

By Susan Salenger

As I was wheeled into the cold operating room, attached to various tubes, I felt angry at myself for agreeing to have surgery I was convinced I didn't need. It turned out I was right—and to this day, many years later, I still feel bad that I had been so passive. But after talking with other women about their healthcare decisions, I found that many of them had acquiesced in the same way and felt similar regrets.

These experiences forced me to wonder what makes women agree to do something to our bodies that we fundamentally think is wrong.

2X Employee Retention? 😳 Yes, Please. (PowerUp for a Solution!)

Let’s not overstate. One conference can’t solve all problems. But research backs up the value of providing leadership development like what participants get at Take The Lead’s PowerUp Concert and Conference.

👉🏽 According to Deel Global HR’s 2004 statistics, 94% of employees stay longer in companies that invest in their professional development, and providing a robust program can 2X retention.
👉🏽 While all generations of employees value professional development, Gen Z employees value it 16% more than others.
👉🏽 Replacement of leaders and managers can cost 200% of their salaries and replacing professionals in technical roles can cost 80% of their salaries, according to Gallup.
