We're thrilled to share the HIT Like a Girl Pod #RoadToHLTH Campaign—an initiative designed to amplify the voices of women in health IT, foster professional growth, and cultivate a supportive community of like-minded professionals.

Our cross-country campaign features a rich mix of live and virtual podcast episodes and community events, from delightful dinners and invigorating hikes to networking opportunities featuring prominent women in healthcare and health IT.

Participants can expect not only to elevate their brand visibility but also forge meaningful connections with others in the industry.

This journey will traverse the U.S., making stops in ten+ cities, each offering unique experiences and opportunities for connection, learning, and growth.

The #RoadtoHLTH journey is more than a series of events—it's an opportunity to become part of a vibrant, thriving community that champions women in health technology. Join us on the road to HLTH 2023, and let's drive the future of health IT together.
