Melinda French Gates is making a $215 million bet on women's health

Melinda French Gates is one of the biggest donors to women’s health through Pivotal, her foundation. Now she’s investing another $215 million to improve women’s health. This money will help her longtime work on contraceptive access and maternal care while expanding to a new area: midlife and menopause. With 1 in 10 women leaving the workforce because of menopause, and another 1 in 5 considering retiring early, America faces a crisis of losing our women leaders? What can we do to stop the exodus? Philanthropist and author Melinda French Gates joins The Excerpt to talk about her latest initiative to educate healthcare practitioners and expand outreach in areas where access to menopause care is most limited.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
