  • Women Are the Infrastructure of Health | Meet the Founders of MitoKhon

    What if we stopped treating women’s health as a niche within healthcare and started recognizing women as the essential infrastructure of health itself?

    In the premiere episode of She’s at the Table, MitoKhon co-founders Shika Pappoe, MD, MPH, MBA; Manisha Sharma, MD, FAAFP; and Katie Abbott, MHA, FACHE, introduce the women, experiences, and vision behind a new kind of conversation about healthcare leadership, innovation, and systems change.

    Drawing on their backgrounds in medicine, public health, healthcare operations, entrepreneurship, and community advocacy, the three leaders share the personal and professional journeys that brought them together—and why they decided to build something different.

    From navigating burnout and challenging traditional healthcare structures to creating space for collaboration, creativity, and dignity-centered solutions, they explore what it takes to reimagine health systems that truly serve people and communities.

    In this episode, you’ll hear about:

    • The personal journeys and shared values that brought MitoKhon’s three founders together.
    • Why women are essential infrastructure in health—not an afterthought.
    • How healthcare can move beyond transactional care toward dignity, trust, and meaningful relationships.
    • The importance of collaboration, co-design, and community voices in healthcare innovation.
    • Why healthcare leaders need more space to imagine, create, and challenge the status quo.
    • How MitoKhon is working to transform fragmented health systems into coordinated, community-centered impact.
    • What listeners can expect from She’s at the Table and the conversations ahead.
    • Grounded in the belief that health is everyone’s business, She’s at the Table brings women across the health ecosystem together for candid conversations about leadership, systems, legacy, and what comes next.

      This is more than a conversation about women’s health. It’s a conversation about the women shaping the future of health.
