Carolee Lee is the founder, CEO, and chair of Women’s Health Access Matters, a 501(c)3
focused on accelerating women’s health research. She commissioned The WHAM Report, a
series of reports waking up the medical community faster than a strong cup of coffee. The
WHAM Report shows that funding women’s health research has huge economic impacts. For
example, this episode will explain how investing $300 million in researching diseases that
disproportionally affect women generates $13 billion to our economy. We discuss why being a super-successful female entrepreneur, a believer in data, and a believer in the power of a circle of female friends helped get this movement going.
