From Passion to Purpose

What happens when passion, philanthropy, and medicine come together with one shared goal? A transformation in women's healthcare. 

In this episode of HERology, Dr. Joanne Stone sits down with Carolyn Rowan—the visionary whose support helped bring the Carolyn Rowan Center for Women's Health and Wellness to life. 

Joined by Drs. Anna Barbieri and Leslee Shaw, the conversation explores why women need more coordinated, personalized care throughout every stage of life, how thoughtful design can shape the healthcare experience, and why education and early intervention are changing the future of women's health. 

From building healthier habits and reducing disease risk to finding purpose, confidence, and balance, this episode is filled with practical insights and inspiring reflections for women of every generation.
