Sarah Widmeyer joins Being Patient Live Talks to discuss her experience caring for her mother, Elaine, who passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2022, and how the experience set her off on the path to advocating for more gender diversity in clinical research. Widmeyer is an SVP of Wealth Strategies and CMO at Richardson Wealth, and she’s passionate about improving research and access to care for women. The end goal: to improve outcomes for women like her mom.

Inspired by her experience as a caregiver and advocating for her mom as a patient, Widmeyer now serves on the Board of Directors of the Women’s Brain Health Initiative, an organization on funding research and creating education programs to combat brain-aging diseases that primarily affect women.
