Evolution of EmpowerHer:EMS
It all began at CCTMC, over a simple lunch that sparked a powerful vision. As we shared our journeys in medical transport leadership, a common theme emerged: the need for more resources, mentorship, and opportunities for women aspiring to lead in our field. That moment ignited a commitment—to create a platform where women could be inspired to lean in and claim their rightful place at the leadership table.
From that first conversation, EmpowerHer
was born—a transformative network dedicated to inspiring, educating, and empowering women across the industry. Today, EmpowerHer stands as a testament to that vision, shaping a future where women lead boldly, support one another, and pave the way for those to follow.
