I completely agree - thank you, Deepa! I'm truly honored to be part of this inspiring community. The shared passion and purpose make this journey incredibly meaningful.
A special thanks for laying the foundation and planting the seeds over the past 36 months since the inception of the India region. Growing from just 20+ to over 800 members is a remarkable achievement - a true testament to what's possible when healthcare leaders come together not just to connect, but to co-create, uplift, and lead with purpose.
With the announcement of the third chapter leadership (Hyderabad), the momentum is truly unstoppable. Cheers to the continued growth of the India region!
I'm excited about the possibilities ahead and look forward to what we can build together.
Cheers!

"I was amazed to learn that women make up 80% of the U.S. healthcare workforce, 60–70% globally, and 90% of caregivers. These numbers highlight the undeniable influence women have in shaping healthcare. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said, 'Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.' That truth is more relevant than ever."

And wow-what a revelation!🙆♀️ I was truly taken aback to learn that women make up 80% of the healthcare workforce in the U.S., 60–70% worldwide, and an astounding 90% of caregivers. These aren't just numbers; they're a testament to the powerful, transformative role women play across healthcare. This force isn't dwindling-it's growing stronger, demanding that women be deeply embedded in every conversation and decision that shapes the industry. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg once said, "Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception." That wisdom rings louder than ever. As @Mary Stutts so beautifully reminded us, Healthcare Businesswomen's Association's mission remains just as vital today as it was 50 years ago-and its momentum is only accelerating.
