Every woman deserves a future where health and workplace equity go hand in hand.

At the Women in Work Summit NYC 2025, we came together to celebrate progress and rally for what’s next.

The highlight reel? An all-star panel featuring Kristy Kade, Dr. Barron Lerner, and Ann Kurth, PhD, explored the strides women have made in health and at work. And our “Midlife Voices” lunch, led by Pilar Guzmán of Oprah Daily LLC, brought the energy with Dr. Sharon Malone, Dr. Heather Hirsch, Naomi Watts, and Abby Epstein diving into menopause myths, midlife power moves, and everything in between.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, spoke up, and made these conversations unforgettable. This is what progress looks like!

Over 200 healthcare champions gathered at our 30th annual gala to celebrate three remarkable leaders advancing health equity and to unite behind our shared mission: healthier, longer lives for all.

Emmy award-winning anchor Kristine Johnson hosted the evening as we honored:
Dr. John 'Jack' W. Rowe (Healthcare Legacy Award) – for his transformative work improving health outcomes for older adults
Tom Wright (Bold and Brave Award) – for his climate advocacy and urban planning that creates more livable, healthier cities
Pat Wang (Health Equity Champion Award) – for her tireless commitment to dignified, equitable care for vulnerable populations.

"Tonight, we stand together, united by a shared goal of healthier, longer lives for everyone. It's not just an aspiration; it's a responsibility we all embrace together," Johnson shared. A heartfelt thank you to Doug Schneider Photography for capturing photography as special as the evening itself. We are also deeply grateful to our emcee, Kristine Johnson — Emmy-award winning reporter and anchor for CBS News New York — for guiding the evening with warmth and professionalism.

For over 178 years, we've stood at the forefront of progress—from pioneering public health to tackling climate challenges. Together, we're turning the possibility of healthier, longer lives into reality.
