In the second installment of our Chasm Conversations series honoring Women's Health Month, we spoke with Elaine Purcell, Co-founder and COO of Oula, a system of modern maternity clinics that combines the best of obstetrics and midwifery care to deliver an evidence-based and personalized pregnancy experience. During her career, Elaine has consulted with large health systems and insurers at Deloitte and sat on leadership teams at two major primary care companies, Privia Health and CareMore Health. While working for startups and public policy during the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Elaine saw the problems with our country’s healthcare system up close: it was expensive, unwieldy, and left too many people without access to basic care. When it came to women’s health, all of these problems were magnified. As Co-founder and COO at Oula, Elaine is on a mission to redesign maternity care from the ground up. By combining the best of obstetrics and midwifery care in a hospital setting, Oula's collaborative care model is emerging as a mainstream solution to the tragic outcomes and horrific experiences that have defined maternity care in the U.S. Read the full conversation with Elaine here: https://lnkd.in/euUnBhwu

Women's Health Month is a time to recognize the innovation and progress being made in women’s healthcare. As a part of our ongoing Chasm Conversations series, and in honor of the momentum in this industry, we connected with Judith Nowlin, CEO of Nest Collaborative, to discuss the inspiration behind her career and how her work at Nest Collaborative supports prenatal and postpartum women nationwide. Nowlin is a FemTech pioneer with an impressive 20-year career advancing maternal child health. With boots-on-the-ground experience as a childbirth educator and doula, she saw an opportunity to positively impact clinical outcomes by opening access to care via mobile health technologies. In 2008, she founded iBirth App, a groundbreaking B2B patient care companion app tailored for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She built the company from inception to acquisition by Babyscripts, the market-leading remote patient monitoring platform for maternal health. Her executive journey is characterized by an unwavering commitment to improving maternal-child health and revolutionizing the way we approach care during this pivotal life stage. Nowlin is now leading the next wave of impact in maternal healthcare in her role as CEO of Nest Collaborative, the premier virtual lactation support platform offering virtual breastfeeding consultations 365 days per year.

2024 is highly anticipated to be "the year" for women's health. Historically, this sector has been overlooked, undervalued, and underinvested. However, over the past year, women's healthcare has received critical funding and attention, catching the interest and capital of prominent VC firms across the nation. Even though the changes may seem incremental, progress is being made. We are proud to support leading organizations such as Maven Clinic, Tia, Solis Mammography, ProgenyHealth, LLC, and Women's Care that continue to make significant strides in women's healthcare. This month, we intend to highlight the momentum, innovation, and leaders who are driving transformation in this industry. Stay tuned as we spotlight #WomensHealthMonth this May.
