By all measures, 2021 has been a time of extraordinary challenges for healthcare workers and executives. This is especially true for women in the industry.

Even before the pandemic, female physicians and researchers earned less, did more at home and tended to be lower on the professional ladder compared with men. The COVID-19 pandemic has had profound and far-reaching impacts on healthcare workers in the U.S. This burden has, in many ways, been disproportionately shouldered by women.

But there are significant shifts happening in the industry. Solving health emergencies like COVID-19 demands creative thinking by the best minds the world has to offer, and women have played a critical role in the pandemic response. Women in healthcare have notched spectacular accomplishments and demonstrated stellar leadership at every level of medicine.

November 2, 2021 - Fierce Healthcare

November 2, 2021 - Fierce Healthcare
Jefferson Health has acquired the remaining 50% stake in Health Partners Plans (HPP) from Temple University Health System for $305 million, now making it the sole owner of the nearly 290,000-person managed care plan. Announced Monday, the deal makes good on a 2019 agreement between Jefferson and Temple. Jefferson had already acquired a quarter of HPP through its acquisition of Aria Health System in 2016 and its more recent merger with Einstein Healthcare Network. The Philadelphia-based health system said its purchase will springboard a push toward value-based care and reduce the costs of healthcare services for plan members.

November 2, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
When it comes to refining current genetic sequencing practices and technologies, there’s no need to completely reinvent the wheel. Take it from Cambridge Epigenetix, which is designing tech that integrates into existing sequencing platforms, expanding their DNA analysis capabilities without forcing researchers to install an entirely new system in their labs. This business model has drawn plenty of support. Cambridge Epigenetix recently closed its series D funding round with a total of $88 million, bringing its lifetime fundraising total to nearly $150 million.

November 4, 2021 - Fierce Biotech
Several lucky startups developing new technologies to transform the medical field are about to get quite a bit richer—$740 million richer, to be exact. San Diego-based venture capital firm Section 32 said this week that it closed its fourth fund with nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars, ready to be doled out to companies in its target areas of tech, healthcare and the intersection of the two. Fund 4, the latest in a list of funding pools that have grown increasingly larger since Section 32 launched in 2017 with its first $100 million fund, brings the firm’s total assets to more than $1.8 billion.
