About this event
The Role of Women in Healthcare Series, presented by HC3
According to recent studies, 69 percent of adults in the United States think women are not treated equally at work. Forty-eight percent say it will take 10 to 30 years or more to achieve gender equality in the workplace and 8 percent don’t think it will ever happen.
Women face gender bias and societal pressures that make it more difficult to be in leadership positions, and they often have to think, look, and act differently to overcome them. The COVID-19 pandemic has only reinforced the glass ceiling, exposing the inequitable job opportunities and tremendous responsibilities women shoulder at home and in the workplace.
While there are women leaders advancing institutional change, the journey to an equitable workplace is long and requires more women in leadership.
The Health Care Council of Chicago (HC3) is proud to launch a series of equity-driven conversations around the Role of Women in Healthcare. Led by Laurie McGraw, Senior Vice President of Innovations at the American Medical Association (AMA) and host of Inspiring Women Podcast, the series will explore the implications of women in health care and solutions to make leadership opportunities more equitable.
