Welcome to HEALTHY CITIES: HEALTHY WOMEN New York City. On behalf of the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Nursing, thank you for being here today. The women in our lives brought us here: a steadfast grandmother, a pioneering mother, a caring sister or a passionate friend. The life lessons imparted by the women in our lives are unique, yet share a defining quality. Women are the centers of our families and communities. They are models of care, persistence, sacrifice and, ultimately, health. For the past several years, Penn Nursing has been dedicated to exploring a previously untapped intersection of critical issues: Urban Women’s Health. While challenges for men and women living in urban areas abound, research shows us that women are both uniquely affected by urban environments and uniquely positioned to have exponential impact in their families and communities. From New York to Haiti, women around the world – especially women in urban areas – bear the responsibilities of health, including access to healthcare, clean water, nutritious food, and safety. In South Africa women together walk the equivalent of a trip to the moon and back 16 times a day to supply their households with water. And worldwide more than a third of households in urban slums are headed by women. The health, rights and equality of women is an agenda the world can share, and challenges each of us within our own nations, communities and families. At Penn Nursing, we continue to challenge ourselves to investigate barriers to health, discover solutions and, perhaps most importantly, to ask who will join us. I am thrilled that as a result of the momentum created by our faculty, global collaborators and partners like you, Penn Nursing will soon launch the Center for Global Women’s Health. This Center will drive forward the science to improve the lives and health of women in urban areas. As this work advances, I look forward to your ongoing engagement and support of this exciting nexus for global discovery progress, and for providing care that makes a difference in the world for women and girls. Thank you for joining us today and for joining all of those inside and outside of the University of Pennsylvania who see women around the world as powerful advocates for health for themselves, their families and their communities.

Urban women face unique health challenges both because of gender and because they live in cities. These two issues – women’s health and urban life – when considered together, point to a complex, multidimensional reality. Like many of the great challenges of our time, effective solutions to health issues for urban women demand, first and foremost, integrated expertise and understanding of the health sciences, ethics, sociology, education, public policy, city planning, environmental studies, and more. At Penn, we excel not only at multidisciplinary approaches to knowledge but at forming partnerships to use that understanding to improve the lives of people in neighborhoods around our campus and across the globe. The Healthy Cities: Healthy Women conference is the latest undertaking in Penn Nursing’s ongoing and pioneering initiative to unfold the layers of connection at the intersection of women’s health and urban community, and apply those discoveries to improving health and making cities more livable. In April, Penn hosted the fifth meeting of the Global Colloquium of University Presidents, which each year discusses a topic of concern to leaders in higher education and to the Secretary- General of the United Nations. This year’s theme is Empowering Women to Change the World: What Universities and the UN Can Do. I invited Dean Afaf Meleis to join me as an academic partner in preparing the deliberations. The colloquium topic suggests how far-reaching the implications are for Healthy Cities: Healthy Women. Women are at the center of families and communities: they are the connectors to healthcare, to schools, and to other vital aspects of urban infrastructure. Designing cities from their perspective increases the potential for keeping women healthy, which in turn keeps families and communities healthy. Empowering women is not only a moral imperative, it is fundamental to human progress and sustainable development. When we improve healthcare, education, and job opportunities for women, we improve families, communities, cities, nations, and the world. I encourage you to join the University of Pennsylvania, Penn Nursing, and all of our partners in discussion, discovery, and action to improve the lives of women – and the well-being of us all.

In New York City, we cross paths with hundreds and even thousands of women each day – in our neighborhoods, in our workplaces and in our travels throughout this great city. But we rarely stop to think about the common challenges of women from Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island and the greater New York City area. That is, until we became involved with Penn’s Urban Women’s Health Initiative. Now, when we hear a news report that says to be healthy you should eat five to eight servings of fruit and vegetables per day, we think about the women in neighborhoods across the five boroughs who have more access to bodegas and fast food than fresh apples and carrots. According to a report from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, women in New York’s poorest neighborhoods have a life expectancy five years shorter than those who live in the highest income neighborhoods. Overall, women in New York City do not receive appropriate levels of preventive care, including immunizations and screenings for cancer and HIV. Penn’s Urban Women’s Health Initiative focuses on solutions to these unique challenges. We imagine that Penn’s efforts to improve the lives and health of women are exactly what Penn founder Benjamin Franklin envisioned when he created a University built on a spirit of service to society. Today, Penn continues that tradition as the home of dynamic and multi-disciplinary collaborations aimed at making a difference in the neighborhoods of West Philadelphia and across the globe. It is that spirit of collaboration and impact that has shaped Penn’s Urban Women’s Health Initiative and HEALTHY CITIES: HEALTHY WOMEN New York. We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the Honorary, Executive and Host Committees, and our sponsors, speakers, panelists and guests, whose involvement has truly shined a light on Urban Women’s Health. Urban Women’s Health is truly the intersection of issues with the power to change not only the way we think, but the way we live. As we continue to challenge ourselves to take action for progress, we charge each of you to use your own perspectives to reach out to women in your community, join or organize efforts to educate and advocate for women’s health and address policies that are both barriers and solutions.

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of BlackRock and the BlackRock Women’s Initiative Network, I would like to welcome you to the Healthy Cities: Healthy Women conference. This exciting event brings together key leaders and innovators to develop solutions to promote the health of women, our cities and our world.

The BlackRock Women’s Initiative is proud to sponsor this important event. BlackRock is dedicated to creating a better financial future for individuals and institutions, and supporting the health of our communities is a key part of that effort.

The BlackRock Women’s Initiative provides women with information and tools to develop their skills and manage their careers, help establish informal mentoring relationships and encourage networking opportunities both internally and externally. Like our cities, the long-term success of BlackRock is predicated upon the engagement and vitality of the women in our firm.

I encourage you to be active participants in the dialogue today, and urge you to seek out opportunities to apply what you’ve learned at this conference to the urgent challenges facing women and their broader communities. I thank you for your support, and look forward to collaborating with you.

Best Regards,

Poor urban women, who are still performing their traditional role of finding water and fuel, spend hours waiting in line to get water from a stand-pipe which is turned on for a few hours a day. Women who live in urban areas are at 1.5 times higher risk of contracting HIV/AIDS than their male counterparts and are at twice the risk as their rural counterparts. Better-educated women are more likely to understand disease-prevention measures such as vaccines and mosquito nets and to use them. They are more likely to take a sick child to a clinic early. They make clean water a priority for their household.

We celebrate the leadership of Dean Afaf I. Meleis and are proud to be part of the PENN URBAN WOMEN’S HEALTH INITIATIVE

and the effort to improve the world by transforming the health and lives of women.
