Myri Health at the Clinton Global Initiative: Turning Risk Into Action, Equity Into Access
Myri Health joins the Clinton Global Initiative Greenhouse Cohort to advance maternal health equity through AI-powered innovation, scalable care models, and actionable commitments for global impact.

At Myri Health, we’ve always said equity is not an add-on, it’s the architecture.

It means every woman, at every stage of life, deserves care that is safe, dignified, and complete. No shortcuts. No exceptions.

We began with maternal health because that’s where the cracks in our system claim the most lives. In the U.S., maternal deaths have more than doubled since 2000, and Black women remain three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Those statistics are not just numbers: they’re stories of families, futures, and communities carrying losses that never should have happened.

That’s why we built technology to bridge those gaps and now, we’re expanding that same infrastructure to support women through preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and healthy aging. Because when women are well, families thrive, workplaces stabilize, and economies grow.

As Hillary Clinton once said, “If you really want to know how strong a country’s health system is, look at the well-being of its mothers.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Why CGI Matters

For 20 years, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) has brought together leaders who don’t just talk about change, they commit to it.

CGI turns ambitious ideas into measurable, accountable, life-changing action. Since 2005, its members have launched over 4,000 “Commitments to Action,” impacting the lives of more than 435 million people in 180 countries.

This year marked CGI’s 20th anniversary, and the focus was clear: action over ideology, outcomes over rhetoric.

Myri Health Joins the Clinton Greenhouse Cohort

In 2025, Myri Health (Google for Startups ’24 / Techstars ’23) was selected as one of just 20 companies worldwide to join the Clinton Global Initiative Greenhouse Cohort.

The program recognizes early-stage innovators with proof of impact,connecting them with policymakers, public health leaders, and investors to accelerate scalable change.

Being part of CGI’s Greenhouse means more than recognition.

It’s a responsibility to turn evidence into action, technology into trust, and data into better health outcomes for mothers and families everywhere.

Inside the Health Equity Working Group

At the Women & Girls' Equality convening at CGI 2024, Dr. Pinkey Patel connected with powerhouse leaders from Chicago Beyond—all pushing systems to do better for women, girls, and communities.

During CGI week, we had the honor of joining the Health Equity Working Group, at the table on Enabling Equitable and Accessible Maternal Care, facilitated by Joy Burkhard of the Policy Center for Maternal Mental Health.

The conversations were candid and urgent.

We examined one of the hardest truths: most maternal deaths are preventable, yet they’re rising. Together with leaders across health systems, nonprofits, and technology, we explored how redesigning the architecture of care, from payment models to digital access, could improve affordability, accountability, and outcomes for mothers everywhere.

This wasn’t a conference. It was a roll-up-your-sleeves, pen-to-paper environment, where founders, clinicians, policymakers, and global health advocates worked side-by-side to drive measurable change.

Our Commitments to Action

At Myri, our CGI commitments are clear, practical, and urgent:

  • Scale innovation in maternal care nationwide using culturally competent, trusted digital models that meet women where they are.
  • Prove that equity isn’t just ethical. It’s economical, through payment and reimbursement models that reward prevention, not reaction.
  • Expand our AI-driven maternal infrastructure across the full continuum of women’s health, turning predictive data into real-time support and early intervention.
  • Partner with health systems and payers to embed equity into their operations, demonstrating that inclusive design drives both better outcomes and lower costs.

Because access without trust is not access.

Because mental health is not optional. It’s foundational.

And because until every woman is held by a system that recognizes her worth, we haven’t achieved equity.

Looking Ahead: From Commitments to Outcomes

Our work at CGI was about implementation.

We left New York with renewed resolve: to build technology and partnerships that turn risk into action, and equity into access.

As we continue to scale Myri Health’s maternal infrastructure across the U.S. and globally, our focus remains on one simple truth:

Change is slow, until it’s not.

We’re proud to stand among global leaders who refuse to accept the status quo — and to keep proving that when care is connected, data is actionable, and equity is embedded by design, everyone wins.
