MIX: From Baltimore to Better Care - Advancing Women’s Health Innovation
Inviting all innovators, changemakers, artists, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, community leaders, educators, and neighbors to join us at our March MIX - the Monthly Innovation eXchange!
From Baltimore to Better Care - Advancing Women’s Health Innovation
Baltimore is home to world-class research institutions, growing health-tech startups, community-based care models, and advocates advancing equity across the healthcare system. From maternal health to chronic disease, mental health to medical device innovation, local leaders are laying the groundwork for stronger women’s health outcomes, both here and beyond.
This session explores how Baltimore’s ecosystem can more intentionally translate discovery into delivery — strengthening the connections between research, entrepreneurship, policy, investment, and lived experience. Together, we’ll examine what’s working, where collaboration can deepen, and what it will take to position Baltimore as a national force in women’s health.
MIX isn’t a panel; it’s an active space for conversation, imagination, and new connections.
