Spring Summit 〰️ Women Leading Healthcare Innovation 〰️
A Different Kind of Healthcare Event
This is not a traditional conference.
It’s a hands-on, high-impact day with a thoughtfully curated group of senior leaders. Designed for real discussion, peer problem-solving, and forward movement on the challenges you’re actively navigating.
The Summit is built on the same high-impact frameworks, facilitation style, and community building that power the WELL Accelerator: our flagship strategy program for senior clinicians, scientists, and founders leading in digital health.
We care about creating real connections. Attendance is intentionally limited.
What To Expect
Forget the dry panel discussions and the polished PR talking points. This Summit is one-day mastermind session where you’re the expert, surrounded by experts. Come with your hardest questions, thorniest challenges, and your hard-won lessons learned. Leave with powerful connections, sharp ideas, and an action plan to expand your impact in digital health.
Quality over quantity
We bring together well-matched, high-caliber leaders for candid conversations that directly apply to the real challenges you’re facing in healthcare innovation.
Interactive by design
Connection is in our DNA. Our engaging group facilitation approach has helped more than 100 women in the WELL Accelerator learn from each other and build lasting relationships.
Real solutions
We don’t do fluff. Each session is designed to surface real problems, navigate real tradeoffs, share lessons learned, and get concrete solutions… not listen to polished talking points.
Proven frameworks
Healthcare innovation is hard. Our content draws directly from the most effective strategy frameworks developed and refined inside the WELL Accelerator - the tools alumnae use to build companies, launch products, and scale.
Meet Your People (Before You Even Arrive)
Connection doesn’t start at breakfast.
In the weeks and months leading up to the Spring Summit, we’ll host a series of virtual and small in-person gatherings designed to help you meet fellow attendees, build connections, and identify shared interests so the Summit itself feels less like a room of strangers and more like a reunion with trusted colleagues and friends.

“
It was such a powerful, inspiring experience to be in the same room with that group of women! I really appreciated the chance to have a more in-depth conversation than a big conference might otherwise have allowed.
Elisabeth Morray | VP Clinical, Alma
“
I want to thank you for hosting the women's leadership breakfast, and including me! The time I spent in that room was invigorating - just what the doctor ordered.
Maninder Kahlon | CEO, Beheld Health
“
I had such a wonderful time at WELL’s San Francisco leadership event, and I have continued connecting with some of the wonderful women I met there. What a treat!
Lauren M. Taylor | General Partner, Scaling Care
“
What stands out is the really detailed, specific conversations about what each leader was going through and a very supportive discussion on those topics. I loved the conversations that took place; the power really is in the community wanting to help each other.
Anjlee Joshi | Impact Investor

The curation of a group of women who are carving meaningful paths as founders and leaders in health tech was incredible. The insights, mentorship, and generosity in that room reflected a shared commitment to shaping a future of care that is both innovative and deeply human.
Nathalie Hovatta | Founder
“
The professional diversity. Women from all different roles and backgrounds to meet and learn from! Loved the format of having a couple of inspiring speakers and time for prompted discussion. I’d love to have more of these opportunities.
Aarthi Padmanaban | Director, Talkspace
“
What I most appreciated was the mix of new and familiar faces, and the intimacy of the setting. The mix of roles represented—from product to scientist to quality oversight—made for a really valuable group. (Also, the chocolate was crazy good!)
Dana Udall | Chief Clinical Officer, Nourish
“
I really valued the ability to connect with wonderful people in a genuinely open environment. We need more opportunities like this to connect with people passionate about improving healthcare, and supporting each other in solving problems.
Lauren Morrell | CEO, Willow Health
“
It was a pleasure experiencing a WELL event. The atmosphere was relaxed, the energy was positive, and everyone was kind, open, and genuinely enjoyed connecting. While digital innovation addresses gaps in care, the opportunity to connect face-to-face is so energizing.
