It’s time to change the odds.

At this intimate summit, women leaders in business, healthcare, research, and advocacy come together to accelerate awareness and impact on women's heart health.

More than a meeting, this summit gathers women in positions of power to drive real change and investment in closing the equity gap in women’s heart health.

Due to historic inequity in the healthcare system, women are twice as likely as men to die after a heart attack – and cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death for women.

Featured Speaker

A Conversation with Kelly Rowland on Heart Health

Kelley Rowland

We are pleased to have Grammy Award-winning artist and actress Kelly Rowland join the Summit as our opening speaker. Kelly lost her mother, Doris, in 2014 to a heart attack at the age of 66. Since then, she has been a passionate advocate for women's heart health, educating women about their unique risk factors, symptoms, and the importance of a heart-healthy lifestyle. Her voice and story inspire women everywhere to take charge of their heart health and live longer, stronger lives—join us to be part of this powerful conversation and movement for change.

“This event is really special because in my academic and clinician worlds, I don't often get to meet women in other disciplines who all have the same shared passion about improving the lives and health of women. So this event has just been really inspiring, and I feel energized to go forth with this mission.”
