On Saturday night of the Women in Medicine Summit™, we’ll gather at the historic Drake Hotel for the EmpowerHer Med Gala—an evening dedicated to celebrating the women who are transforming healthcare and the allies who stand beside them.

This signature event brings together physicians, healthcare professionals, researchers, trainees, industry partners, and advocates for a night of connection, storytelling, and purpose. Guests will enjoy a seated dinner, inspiring program, and opportunities to support Women in Medicine® through live giving moments and special appeals—all designed to fuel WIM’s year-round work.

By attending the EmpowerHer Med Gala, you are:

• Investing in women’s leadership in medicine – supporting programs that develop and advance women physicians and healthcare professionals at every stage of their careers.

• Expanding access to evidence-based research and education – helping WIM drive initiatives that address gender inequities, burnout, and workforce challenges in healthcare.

• Strengthening community health – because when women in healthcare thrive, patients, families, and communities benefit.

Whether you’re a longtime champion of WIM or joining us for the first time, the EmpowerHer Med Gala is a powerful way to deepen your engagement, celebrate progress, and help build a more equitable healthcare system.

All proceeds from the EmpowerHer Med Gala support Women in Medicine®, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and directly advance our mission to educate, empower, and elevate women in healthcare. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
