As we continue to celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth, Inside Edge highlights more pioneers who shaped medicine and health equity—this time in the 20th century. From Dr. Fe Del Mundo transforming pediatric care in the Philippines, to Dr. Helen Rodriguez-Trías advocating for public health, and Dr. Patricia Bath revolutionizing eye care—these women redefined what’s possible in healthcare. At Inside Edge, we celebrate their impact and remain committed to advancing equitable solutions in healthcare and beyond. #WomenInMedicine #HealthEquity #InsideEdge

This #WomensHistoryMonth, Inside Edge honors the trailblazing women who shaped medicine and health equity in the 19th century.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) disproportionately affects Hispanic/Latino populations, with Puerto Ricans experiencing a 16.6% prevalence rate—the highest among heritage groups. For our pharma clients, this disparity isn’t just a public health issue; it’s a missed opportunity to engage underserved populations who need access to life-changing therapies. Understanding these challenges, we partnered with our Trustmaker network to deliver impactful educational programs in Puerto Rico over the past two years. These initiatives have not only raised awareness but also demonstrated the unique power of our Trustmaker network to deeply and meaningfully engage communities. By overlooking certain populations, companies risk losing opportunities to improve outcomes, build trust, and expand reach. Together, let’s close the gap! This National Kidney Month, let’s collaborate to make a difference where it’s needed most. #NationalKidneyMonth #CommunityHealth #TrustmakerNetwork #HealthEquity #BusinessImpact

These grants offer personal assistance so they can continue their vital work.
