A Weekend of Connection and Inspiration

The WBL Fellows gathered for an in-person orientation weekend — a truly rejuvenating experience for Mayo and her fellow cohort members. This intensive kickoff set the stage for six transformative months, focusing on connection, shared learning, and collaborative problem-solving.

From CEOs and founders in digital health to innovators in maternal and mental health, the cohort represents the diversity and vitality driving positive change in healthcare. Each Fellow has embarked on a journey to address significant health challenges with passion, ingenuity, and expertise. Mayo notes, “It was inspiring to connect with these phenomenal leaders and to feel supported by such a strong community dedicated to the common mission of transforming healthcare.”
