Join us for the 2026 EmpowerHer Med Gala, an evening honoring the women physicians and healthcare leaders who are changing what medicine looks like, and everyone who's standing behind them.

You don't need a medical degree to belong here. You just need to believe that who leads in medicine matters.

Here's why this matters beyond the hospital walls: research shows patients treated by women physicians have measurably lower mortality and readmission rates than those treated by men. Yet women still make up a fraction of hospital CEOs, department chairs, and medical school deans. Closing that gap is about the quality of care every one of us receives, and the care our daughters, sisters, and mothers will receive for decades to come. Supporting Women in Medicine® is a bet on better healthcare for everyone.

Our Med Gala honors our #IStandWithHer Award Winners and fuels our work developing women in medicine at every stage, from first-year med student to hospital CEO. It's one night, but the impact runs for years.

This event brings together physicians, researchers, community leaders, longtime champions, and first-time guests for a night of connection, storytelling, and purpose. Whether medicine is your career or simply something you rely on, you're in the right room.

Guests enjoy a seated dinner, an inspiring program, and meaningful opportunities to invest in the future of women in medicine.

Give to the EmpowerHer Med Gala and:

Accelerate physician leadership: fund the training and networks that put women in charge of departments, hospitals, and health systems, so more patients are led by doctors who reflect the communities they serve.

Build the pipeline from training to the top: help a med student today become the department chair of tomorrow, with the mentors and doors opened along the way that too many women still have to find on their own.

Drive evidence-based change: back the VERITAS Research Lab's work proving what better representation does for patient care, turning good instincts into the data that changes policy.

Strengthen the ecosystem: when women lead in medicine, patients get better care, hospitals make better decisions, and the whole system works better. That benefits every one of us, not just the field.

Whether you're a longtime champion of WIM or joining us for the first time, the EmpowerHer Med Gala is a powerful way to celebrate progress and fund what comes next.

Tickets are $325. All proceeds support Women in Medicine® and our mission to educate, elevate, and advance women in healthcare. Contributions are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.
