ABOUT THIS REPORT
As part of our commitment to gender diversity, Rock Health produces an annual report on the state of women in healthcare. We seek to gain a deeper
understanding of the challenges and opportunities women encounter in the healthcare industry. Our third report on this topic is based on a survey of
over 400 women across the healthcare sector, including entrepreneurs, investors, industry executives, and healthcare professionals. This report also
sources data from Rock Health's Digital Health Funding database.

Female
investors are
more likely to
recognize the
value of
female
founders As a female investor, I don’t have the assumption that a
woman shouldn’t run this company because there’s a
possibility that she might run off in 5 years to have a baby. I
ask male founders, shouldn’t you care about your family too?”

I am decisively in the camp that is ‘you should not act like a

aggressive, sounding smart, and dictating—but that wasn’t
going to put me at a different level. My advice is to
understand and confidently play to your unique strengths.”

“We need encouragement from each other. For
example, when you have young kids, everything
just feels impossible because you’re not sleeping

your kids, and it just becomes a tornado. But that’s

Workplace diversity all starts with hiring. Women
just aren’t getting in the funnel, even if they are
just as qualified. And if you don’t have a previous
relationship or a warm introduction to the hiring
manager, then you’re likely not getting the job.”

Level the
playing field
by recognizing
the many ways
employees add
value
The overall goal in the workplace is to get to a
point where you evaluate people by total
contribution. But to get there, you have to be open
to acknowledging biases. If men are willing to
speak up for and advocate work that isn’t being
appreciated, it would improve equality for
everyone. Organizations can do a better job of
documenting all the ways an employee can
contribute to the organization.”

Women
should not be
afraid to
embrace risk
and speak up
COO of TEDMED
SHIRLEY BERGIN
“Embrace risk. When you fail, it’s not a reflection on
who you are. It’s a reflection on the work that was
done at that moment in time. Ask yourself, what’s
the worst thing that can happen. Usually, the worst
thing is it won’t work. If that’s the worst thing, then
you need to give it a try! If you’re not going to hurt
someone, then you take a risk and make it
happen.”
1# The best piece of advice respondents received was
to be confident, speak up, and take risks

one you
CEO of 23andMe
ANNE WOJCICKI
“Life is not always fair, but you can choose how to
live your life. Find your passion and pursue it.
Ignore the critics and the naysayers. The only
person who has to believe it's possible is you. Be
bold, be brave and don't be afraid to make
mistakes.”
Be authentic. Know who you are and be
proud of it. If you don’t have confidence in
yourself and your ability to lead, no one else
will."

  • 24. PRESENTATION © 2015 ROCK HEALTH 24 Level the playing field by recognizing the many ways employees add value The overall goal in the workplace is to get to a point where you evaluate people by total contribution. But to get there, you have to be open to acknowledging biases. If men are willing to speak up for and advocate work that isn’t being appreciated, it would improve equality for everyone. Organizations can do a better job of documenting all the ways an employee can contribute to the organization.” “ Professor at Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and author of Give and Take ADAM GRANT 15% more promotions than womenMen receive what we can do Source: “Why Men Still get More Promotions than Women” Co-authored a NYT series with Sheryl Sandberg on how to end gender discrimination
  • 25. PRESENTATION © 2015 ROCK HEALTH 25 Women should not be afraid to embrace risk and speak up COO of TEDMED SHIRLEY BERGIN “Embrace risk. When you fail, it’s not a reflection on who you are. It’s a reflection on the work that was done at that moment in time. Ask yourself, what’s the worst thing that can happen. Usually, the worst thing is it won’t work. If that’s the worst thing, then you need to give it a try! If you’re not going to hurt someone, then you take a risk and make it happen.” 1# The best piece of advice respondents received was to be confident, speak up, and take risks Source: XX in Health Survey (free form responses, n=269) just do it
  • 26. PRESENTATION © 2015 ROCK HEALTH 26 Remember, there is only one you CEO of 23andMe ANNE WOJCICKI “Life is not always fair, but you can choose how to live your life. Find your passion and pursue it. Ignore the critics and the naysayers. The only person who has to believe it's possible is you. Be bold, be brave and don't be afraid to make mistakes.” Be authentic. Know who you are and be proud of it. If you don’t have confidence in yourself and your ability to lead, no one else will." “ CEO of YWCA DARA RICHARDSON-HERON Both co-founders were women
