Comma's Impact on Women's Health
Comma, an integrated period care company, has made headlines by becoming a
founding member of the Milken Institute's new
Women's Health Network. This innovative platform aims to address the historically
overlooked and
underfunded realm of women's health.
A Groundbreaking Initiative
On September 22, 2025, in Nashville, Tennessee, Comma announced its participation in this selective global community of leaders, devoted to promoting
research, funding, and
collaboration in women's health. The Milken Institute, known for its nonpartisan and nonprofit status, is leading the charge to mobilize leaders and innovators to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing women's health today.
The Women’s Health Network, chaired by former First Lady
Jill Biden, comprises
75 founding organizations committed to creating meaningful advancements in women's health. The network will facilitate discussions and share resources to enhance existing research and stimulate new initiatives. This follows an important event in December 2024, when Miller Morris, Comma’s founder and CEO, participated in the first-ever
White House Conference on Women's Health Research, which was fundamentally designed to elevate attention towards women’s health issues.
A Collective Responsibility
"For too long, women's health has been overlooked and underfunded," stated Miller Morris, reflecting on the network’s mission. He emphasized the importance of participating in such a collaboration, which aims to build actionable solutions to ensure every woman has access to life-changing healthcare innovations.
By aligning itself with a coalition of experts from various sectors such as academia, finance, and investment, Comma aims to ensure that groundbreaking innovations in women's health are accessible to those in need. The network's aim is not merely to increase awareness but to create a robust infrastructure for an
investment fund that will support women's health research and innovation.
Challenging the Status Quo
Comma is focused on challenging traditional views about women's health by putting menstrual health at the forefront of healthcare discussions. The integration of a
digital platform for data sharing will be a crucial component of this initiative, allowing for streamlined communication and collaboration among various stakeholders.
Strengthening the Ecosystem
Members of the Women's Health Network, including Comma, are set to strategically connect with one another, enabling the sharing of
best practices and
resources. The collective goal is to fortify and expand the entire ecosystem of women’s health, thereby amplifying individual and organizational efforts to foster innovation.
