Women in healthcare are key to the future of the industry. Women comprise 50% of the population, yet they only make up 10% of workers at senior roles in the healthcare arena.

Mental health is a factor in workplace performance that's overlooked and undervalued. Healthcare professionals are especially vulnerable to mental health problems (and they're not alone), as they are frequently exposed to traumatic events, lack of work-life balance, and excessive workload.
