WHIN Huddles
The inaugural WHIN Huddle is focused on Maternal & Reproductive Health. The United States has the highest maternal and infant mortality rate of any high-income nation despite the fact that we spend the most on healthcare.
The Women’s Health Innovation Network (WHIN) is dedicated to accelerating innovation and entrepreneurship in one of the fastest growing industries –women’s health. Our mission is to cultivate a thriving ecosystem where groundbreaking ideas are transformed into real-world products and services creating high-wage jobs and attracting millions in private investment. By connecting entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and industry leaders, we provide the resources, networks, and support needed to bring innovative products and services to market ultimately improving the health and well-being of women. By doing so, we strengthen families, our community and our economy.
About
The Women’s Health Innovation Network (WHIN) is a new and growing collaboration between key constituents in NE Florida and throughout the state focused on:
- Improving women’s health care outcomes through the advancement of scientific knowledge and the translation of use-inspired research discoveries into products and services in the market.
- Increasing equitable access to care for all women.
- Engaging more women and under-represented populations in all stages of the innovation lifecycle.

Our Purpose
The Women’s Health Innovation Network (WHIN) is a new and growing collaboration in NE Florida designed to foster engagement and innovation in women’s health. WHIN brings together diverse voices, perspectives, and expertise, and provides the tools and resources necessary to help startup companies transform ideas into revolutionary products and services that improve the health and well-being of women.

Our Vision
To create a world where research, medicine, and innovation give equal attention to women-centered design, where women of all races receive equal healthcare, and where women’s unmet medical needs are addressed through innovation, the advancement of scientific knowledge, and the transfer of research discoveries into products and services in the market. The health of all sexes, society, and the global economy will improve when we invest in female-focused healthcare.

Our Inspiration
Women are the backbone of our society and if they suffer, we all suffer. With the historical lack of funding and research focused on women’s health, there exists the largest healthcare opportunity in generations to make significant strides in improving the health outcomes of women ultimately strengthening families and society. By improving women’s health we improve everyone’s health. The time to make change happen is now.
