Dear AccessCircles Members, 

Welcome to Watch Hill! I am delighted to share this forum with you. The Mary Horrigan Connors Center for Women’s Health and Gender Biology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School is delighted to serve as a Premier Partner of AccessCircles Health and Wellness Forums and the Lead Scientific Research Partner of the WHAM Collaborative for Women’s Health Research. As the Executive Director of the Connors Center, I am privileged to work closely with Carolee. We share a bold vision for improving the health of women and a commitment to joining forces to accelerate scientific discovery for the benefit of all women. 

The Connors Center is a leading force in advancing women’s health, with a rich history and strong foundation of women’s health and sex differences discovery, clinical care, and advocacy for equity in women’s health. The Center’s primary activities focus on igniting change in women’s health by catalyzing research, bolstering knowledge, and transforming education for the next generation of physicians. Our signature initiative, the emerging First.In.Women Precision Medicine Platform, is educating and partnering with the biopharma community, researchers and doctors to ensure that women are included and specifically studied in the development and testing of new drugs, digital health innovations, and devices. Women continue to be underrepresented in women in clinical trials and investigation of sex-differences remains poorly addressed in medical research, leading to worse health outcomes for women. The First.In.Women Platform will change that paradigm. Never has the need for this work been more urgent.

We are grateful to the WHAM Collaborative and its many supporters for directing an inaugural WHAM Investigator’s Award to the Connors Center to support Brigham Cardiologist Dr. Michelle O’Donoghue. and her groundbreaking research study, “Identification of Novel Pathways that Contribute to Heart Disease in Women”. This 3-year study is making great progress understanding sex differences in symptoms of and treatments for heart disease, increasing the potential for improved cardiac care for women. Dr. O’Donoghue is poised to present her findings to cardiologists across the world.

Please enjoy the enclosed annual report highlighting the Center’s recent accomplishments and major events. Of note, we were delighted to have Carolee speak at our virtual National Summit on the Health of Women on June 17, 2021. Over 500 people registered for the event from 11 different countries and 29 states in the U.S. Attendees from the bioscience community including academics, NIH, regulatory, governmental, advocacy, biopharma and philanthropic sectors actively participated in the half-day program that featured lively discussions from leaders in the field of women’s health research.

Please make sure to save the date for the next Women’s Health Luncheon on May 6, 2022. We hope you can join us to learn more about the health of women. 

I look forward to our continued conversations at the AccessCircles retreats and beyond.

Dear AccessCircles Members,

Welcome to your wellness retreat weekend at beautiful Ocean House! Lilly Pulitzer is excited to be partnering with Access Circles for this inspiring and motivating forum to Restore, Refresh, and Renew.

As you enjoy this time to connect with purpose, I wanted to take a moment to share our own story and mission at Lilly Pulitzer. You may already have a shift in your closet but I wanted to bring you a little deeper into our colorful world where we live with a ‘Resort 365’ headset. First – a little about Lilly herself. Lilly was a true original, a free spirit, a social butterfly; she was confident, happy, kind and always liked to do things her own way. Lilly was a creative and savvy business builder, one of the very few female American entrepreneurs of her time—she was the creator of American Resort Wear and introduced a new way to dress that was chic yet playful. Lilly had great style, a designer’s eye, clever wit, and a magnetic energy. Lilly made people feel special. She had a way of bringing people together, from all walks of life, and making them feel a part of her extraordinary world. Today, we carry on her legacy and the brand is on a mission to inspire confidence and optimism and make the world a happier place, one print at a time. We build upon our mission to inspire a brighter future for all women & girls through initiatives focused on empowerment and all aspects of wellness.

Please enjoy your new packable tote in one of our newest prints, “Seen and Herd,” and we also encourage you to page through our book on display and place a complimentary order for, Lilly Pulitzer, published by Assouline, and launched in honor of our 60th anniversary year in 2019. There’s so much more to the story of Lilly Pulitzer that inspires me in new ways each time I sit with our brand history.

I hope you find the same moments and would love to hear when that spark happens—stay in touch!

All my best,
Michelle Kelly
CEO, Lilly Pulitzer
