eMed and The Female Quotient Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Women's Health Through Conversation, Action and Results

Collaboration will bring together healthcare leaders, employers, and advocates at key Female Quotient events throughout the year to discuss access and connected care, beginning with the FQ Health Summit in NYC on October 14

MIAMI, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- eMed, the digital healthcare company transforming access to care through technology-enabled diagnostics and treatment, and The Female Quotient (The FQ), the global media and experiences company that connects more than 8 million influential leaders across 30 industries to the people, ideas and conversations shaping business and culture, today announced a strategic partnership designed to elevate women's health as a business, economic and societal imperative — and accelerate action to improve how women access and experience healthcare.

Through the partnership, eMed and The Female Quotient will bring together leaders across healthcare and business through a series of discussions and activations at key Female Quotient events throughout the year. The collaboration will officially launch at the FQ Health Summit in New York on October 14, where executives and experts will explore how innovation can help address longstanding disparities and accelerate a more connected, accessible and consumer-driven model of care. As part of the summit, Chloe Ferro and Olivia Ferro, founders of sheMed, will join the conversation, bringing their perspectives on advancing women's health and improving access to more personalized care.

"Women's health isn't a niche issue. It's one of the greatest healthcare and economic opportunities of our lifetime," said Linda Yaccarino, Chief Executive Officer of eMed. "This partnership is about bringing the right leaders together to turn innovation into action, create better outcomes and finally close the women's health gap. It also creates an unprecedented opportunity to add $1 trillion a year to the global economy by 2040."

Through executive discussions and future activations across Female Quotient events, the partnership will create opportunities for cross-sector collaboration and spotlight innovative approaches that make healthcare more accessible, personalized and connected.

As employers take a greater role in supporting workforce well-being, the partnership will focus on critical issues shaping the future of women's health, including preventive care, affordability, access, emerging technologies and the role employers can play in driving awareness and action.

"Women's health affects far more than an individual appointment. It shapes whether people can participate fully at work, care for their families and plan for their futures," said Shelley Zalis, Founder and CEO of The Female Quotient. "Our partnership with eMed is built on a shared belief that care should be easier to access and navigate, and that employers and healthcare leaders each have a role in making that happen. Our goal is to turn those conversations into changes women can feel in their everyday lives." 

Through the partnership, eMed will help spotlight how virtual care, at-home diagnostics, and connected technologies can remove barriers to care and improve health outcomes for women across every stage of life.

The FQ Health Summit on October 14 in New York City marks the beginning of an ongoing series of conversations and collaborative programming at select Female Quotient events, with additional details to be announced in the coming months.
