Press Release: WHEN WOMEN'S HEALTH BECAME MORE!

WIPA Marks its Third Anniversary with a Major Expansion in Women’s Health Advocacy, Educational Publishing and Professional Collaboration

August 16, 2026 — New York, NY — As it celebrates its third anniversary, WIPA — Women’s Integrative Professionals Alliance, formerly the Women’s Health Collaborative, is entering a significant new chapter in its mission to connect, educate and elevate professionals committed to advancing women’s health.

Unlike traditional foundations, WIPA is an all-volunteer, social media-driven professional alliance that has selectively attracted some of the finest talent in women’s health. Now expanding toward a national presence, WIPA remains self-funded by its directors while forging strategic partnerships with 2027 sponsors. These collaborations will help extend WIPA’s national reach, strengthen its educational and professional programs, and provide greater resources, visibility, and opportunities for its growing membership.

Under the banner “We Became MORE!”, WIPA has expanded its public outreach, advocacy messaging, educational publishing and digital communications while building new opportunities for collaboration among clinicians, educators, entrepreneurs, innovators and other thought leaders working across the women’s health landscape.

The expansion reflects more than a change in identity. It represents WIPA’s evolution from a professional collaborative into a broader platform designed to amplify important voices, facilitate interdisciplinary relationships and bring women’s health conversations to larger public and professional audiences.

A NEW GENERATION OF OUTREACH: Central to this next phase is support from BeMore NFP, a mission-driven initiative bringing together thought leaders, communicators and advocates committed to advancing education and public awareness in women’s health.

WIPA is also benefiting from the strategic and communications expertise of BeMore Advisory, whose evolutionary approach to professional presence, organizational development and business advancement is helping WIPA broaden its reach, strengthen its messaging and identify new partnership opportunities.

Together, these efforts are creating new bridges across professional networks and social media platforms while laying the foundation for WIPA’s next season of collaborative programming. Plans include educational workshops, webinars, professional conversations, collaborative publishing projects, leadership initiatives and more effective use of digital communications to connect professionals who may otherwise remain separated by specialty, geography or traditional professional boundaries.

WOMEN’S HEALTH NEEDS MORE VOICES AT THE TABLE: WIPA was created around a simple principle: meaningful progress in women’s health requires collaboration. Today, that principle is expanding. The Alliance seeks to provide a professional environment in which clinicians can connect with entrepreneurs, researchers with educators, innovators with advocates, and established leaders with emerging voices. By creating opportunities for these communities to learn from one another, WIPA intends to strengthen both the professional ecosystem surrounding women’s health and its public visibility.

The objective is not simply to build a larger network. It is to build a more connected and consequential one.

OUR NEXT VERSION: HONORING THE WOMEN BUILDING WHAT COMES NEXT: Among the initiatives reflecting this expanded vision is OUR NEXT VERSION, recently launched by WIPA founder and women’s health advocate Dr. Bobbi Kline. The platform recognizes and supports women entrepreneurs—“FemPreneurs”—as well as visionaries, professionals and leaders navigating growth, reinvention and the next stages of their careers.

OUR NEXT VERSION explores leadership, empowerment, visionary thinking, intelligent risk, professional identity and sustainable ambition. Its underlying message is especially relevant to women building careers and enterprises in demanding fields: advancement should not require sacrificing personal sustainability.

Through educational and literary content, the initiative encourages women to examine not only what they are building, but also who they are becoming in the process.

THE NEXT CHAPTER

As WIPA enters its fourth year, its direction is increasingly outward-facing: expanding partnerships, strengthening public education, recognizing women’s health leadership and creating more opportunities for professionals to discover meaningful areas of synergy.

The organization will continue developing its digital presence while introducing new opportunities for members and partners to participate in educational programming, publishing, professional networking and collaborative initiatives.

Three years ago, the organization began by bringing people together around women’s health. Today, its ambitions have grown. We connected. We collaborated. We evolved. Now, WE BECAME MORE.
