"We do give birth to 100% of the population.” Carolee Lee, CEO & Founder of Women's Health Access Matters, making the case at LNIF26 for why the funding gap in women's health is indefensible: 2% of VC dollars, under 5% of global research funding, less than 10% of NIH dollars. She sees momentum building, but not nearly at the scale the math demands.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a moment to take stock of where the system is and where it needs to go. At LNIF26, we asked Patrick J. Kennedy, Co-Founder of The Kennedy Forum, what gives him the most optimism right now. His answer pointed to the disruption itself. "Within these types of times, there's also opportunity, and the key for us is seizing those opportunities to turn this tumultuous time into a chance to change our mental health system." He sees the crisis intensifying as AI reshapes daily life and adds new pressures on mental health. The case he's making is for moving upstream: earlier intervention, better skills, fewer people reaching the point of illness.

Dr. Jim Loehr. - Human Performance Expert. - CEO - Executive Coach. - Elite Athlete Whisperer. - Co-Founder of the Human Performance Institute. - Father, Grandfather, Mentor and Friend. It is difficult to articulate the impact Jim had on people. Many famous and well-known. Luminaries in business, sports, and entertainment. All with one common experience... They were better humans once they experienced Jim Loehr’s wisdom and natural gifts. "I am a better human after going through his Corporate Athlete Training. Jim believed in the early vision for the Lake Nona Impact Forum. He threw his full support behind me and getting year one off the ground. He energized my vision and for that I will always be grateful." - Gloria Caulfield There is no question that the legacy of Dr. Jim Loehr will live on through the lives that were touched and the body of work that will endure.

It was an honor to host President Sian Beilock of Dartmouth @ #LNIF26
Earlier this year, I joined the Lake Nona Impact Forum to talk about the future of higher education in a world reshaped by AI. What was clear is that universities can’t sit on the sidelines of this work. Our responsibility is not simply to study these technologies or lecture about them. It’s to have a direct hand in how they are built and applied, guided by evidence and grounded in ethics. Dartmouth is no stranger to taking part—artificial intelligence was born here in 1956, and it’s our responsibility to ensure that it advances in ways that benefit society. This effort continues 70 years later. Last week, the Dartmouth Center for Precision Health and Artificial Intelligence (CPHAI)brought together the country’s leading clinicians, researchers, and AI developers for a forum on how AI tools are used in care: https://lnkd.in/e5VnffEG And later this year, Dartmouth is gathering business leaders, technologists and academics for the Dartmouth AI Conference: https://ai.dartmouth.edu/ In a place like Dartmouth College, this work is closely tied to improving access and outcomes across the communities we serve, including our rural neighbors who are too often left out of the conversation. Universities have long helped translate discovery into public good. AI has only made this role more critical.

Joshua Roman, Cello Soloist, Composer, and Curator of Romancello, shared his experience living with Long COVID and how it reshaped his life. “So I picked up the cello and I held it against my body, and I began to play those notes that I shared a few minutes ago from the Bach. And as I did, despite the fact that my fingers were incredibly rusty, the power of the cello, the vibrations, the sheer physicality of making music moved me to tears. It dawned on me that I had stopped appreciating this connection long before Covid, that I'd been so focused on giving music that I had lost sight of my own need to receive it.” #LakeNonaImpactForum #Resilience #Healing #Music #HumanConnection

We are living longer. The question is whether our systems are built for it. In this discussion, leaders examined how longer lifespans are reshaping work, retirement, and financial security.

Zip code predicts everything from your quality of life to access of care and frankly even your longevity. One part of a route can live 13 years longer than another just two miles away.” - Joe Coughlin, PhD #LakeNonaImpactForum #Longevity #FutureOfWork #FinancialSecurity #HealthInnovation #Leadership

What does it take to transform a neighborhood once written off into a living model of regeneration, education, art, and hope? "You have to unlearn what you think you know in order to learn something new, which requires a paradigm shift to embrace different strategies of regeneration, like urban acupuncture or agroecology. Regeneration is to renew, restore, or heal something in support of the continuation of life.” Emmanuel Pratt, Executive Director of Sweet Water Foundation, shared the powerful evolution of Chicago’s South Side into the Common|Wealth Communiversity Campus. #LakeNonaImpactForum #CommunityInnovation #UrbanRegeneration
