Women in Healthcare

What Women in Healthcare does

Women in Healthcare, Inc. (WIH) is a US nonprofit professional membership organization founded in 2016 that promotes the professional development, networking, and mentorship of women working in healthcare administration, operations, and facilities. The organization reports approximately 2,692 members across 24+ chapters spanning the United States and Canada, and is run by a small (1–10 employee) staff supported by a National Board, an Advisory Board, an Industry Council, and functional committees (JEDI, Mentorship, Membership, Programs, Communications, Sponsorship, Volunteer). Its core product is a membership-based community platform powered by YourMembership.com that delivers member directories, chapter microsites, community forums, webinars, a national book club, a 30-day wellness challenge, and a career center. The flagship offline product is the annual LeadHERship Summit (8th edition scheduled for November 4–6, 2026 in Houston), which the organization transitioned to a biennial cadence to redirect investment toward regional programming. Revenue is generated through tiered annual membership dues ($195 standard / $100 hospital-employed / $75 students and young professionals), event registrations, and a structured sponsorship program including Industry Council memberships, national webinar sponsorship ($500 per event with reported reach of 6,000+ individuals), book club sponsorship ($250 with reach of 8,000+ individuals), and the Featured National Sponsor tier (e.g., Kristin Sage, LPC). Named corporate relationships include HKS, AMCASE, Armstrong Flooring, Advisory Board, Project C.U.R.E., and HCA Healthcare/HealthTrust, Medline Industries, and Kimball International as observed member participants in the Nashville chapter, indicating that WIH monetizes its membership base both as a consumer subscription community and as a B2B sponsorship distribution channel reaching healthcare executives, students, and C-suite professionals.

Direct peers

• Lean In Foundation: Lean In is a large nonprofit focused on women's professional empowerment through circles, education, and community. While not healthcare-specific, it competes for women leaders' engagement and sponsorship dollars and operates a similar community-led, chapter-equivalent model.
• Ellevate Network: Ellevate Network is a membership-based professional community for women, offering networking, mentorship, and career resources. It overlaps directly with WIH's mission of supporting women's career advancement, though Ellevate spans all industries rather than focusing on healthcare.
• National Association of Female Executives: NAFE is a long-standing membership community for women executives offering networking, education, and recognition programs. It overlaps directly with WIH's target audience of women in senior professional roles and competes for the same individual membership dollars.
• National Association of Health Services Executives: NAHSE is a nonprofit association for minority healthcare executives and a direct parallel to WIH's women-in-healthcare mission. It offers similar chapter-based programming, networking, and leadership development targeting underrepresented groups in healthcare leadership.

Broad incumbents

• Catalyst: Catalyst is a global nonprofit focused on advancing women in the workplace through research and advisory services. While more research-and-corporate-advisory oriented, it competes for sponsor attention in the women-in-leadership space and serves overlapping healthcare enterprise partners.
• American Hospital Association: AHA is the major national trade association for hospitals and health systems. It has an affiliated Women's Leadership Forum and competes for member engagement and corporate sponsorship from the same hospital administrators that WIH serves.
• American College of Healthcare Executives: ACHE is a leading professional society for healthcare executives with tens of thousands of members. While broader and not women-focused, it serves a heavily overlapping audience (healthcare administration and operations leaders) and competes for the same professional development and networking mindshare.
• Healthcare Financial Management Association: HFMA is a large professional membership organization serving healthcare finance professionals, including many women in healthcare administration. It competes for the same membership dues and corporate sponsorship dollars from healthcare enterprises.
