Evofem CEO Saundra Pelletier Calls for a “Ground-Up Reset” of Women’s Health at Fierce JPM Week 2026
Pelletier’s provocative keynote at Fierce JPM 2026 explores how moving beyond legacy models can drive progress in women’s health
“If men suffered from endometriosis, it would be solved by now,” said Pelletier. “Historically, clinical trials excluded women because our hormones have been deemed ‘too complicated’. These statements make people uncomfortable, but discomfort is long overdue.”
“Women’s health needs to be rewired and rebuilt – from the ground up. That’s why at Evofem our approach prioritizes transparency over persuasion, education over fear, and respect over control.”
In her keynote, Pelletier explored how long-standing, often archaic approaches to product development, education, and leadership have shaped — and hindered — progress in women’s health and shared how Evofem is taking a different path.
Fierce Pharma is providing free on-demand access to Pelletier’s keynote, “Rebuilding Women’s Health from the Ground Up,” making it available to those who were unable to attend live in
