I believe the pathway to healthcare advancements is looking to front-line practitioners and activating them to become leaders in finding meaningful solutions.

My mission is to continue to interrupt the status quo when it comes to women’s health by partnering with growing companies and organizations committed to that same goal.

"Bethany causes connection and progress everywhere she goes. She takes action quickly, creates opportunities for others, and fulfills her vision of leaving businesses and people better than she found them. I've witnessed Bethany do this for 15 years in our combined efforts to support the people of Nicaragua and in our recent work together bringing parent education to parents worldwide through a free mobile chat app. In each case, Bethany has thrown herself into the cause and created profound change."

"Bethany combines strategic thinking with practicality and purpose. She thinks in terms of risk and deliverables. She is a hub and trusted intermediary who I rely on to connect me to her enormous network. A few years ago, I introduced Bethany to an entrepreneur whose healthcare business needed direction. She immediately was able to redirect and reignite the business. She was exactly what the doctor ordered.
