Rise & Connect Ladies Business Breakfast Networking

Rise & Connect – Women in Healthcare, Business & Leadership Networking

Rise & Connect is a women-focused networking community created to connect women across healthcare, business, entrepreneurship, and leadership—with a primary focus on women working in healthcare.

We welcome women from all professional backgrounds, including business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, managers, and leaders from any industry. Our core focus, however, is building meaningful relationships within the healthcare space and across the care continuum.

Rise & Connect brings together women such as:

Nurses and healthcare professionals

Physical therapists and therapy providers

Hospice, home health, and senior care professionals

Skilled nursing, assisted living, and facility representatives

Alzheimer’s and dementia care professionals

Caregivers and care coordinators

Executive Directors and healthcare leadership

Physicians and medical professionals

Social workers, case managers, and case workers

Discharge planners and care transition professionals

Business owners, entrepreneurs, and leaders who serve or support the healthcare community

Our mission is to create a supportive and welcoming environment where women can build genuine relationships, collaborate professionally, exchange referrals, and grow—without pressure or aggressive selling.

Rise & Connect is grounded in relationship-building, collaboration, and trust-centered connections. Members are encouraged to share what they do in a natural and respectful way, with an emphasis on authentic connection rather than sales-driven networking.

In addition to our regular networking meetups, Rise & Connect hosts a variety of referral-focused events, including Women’s Night Out referral networking and men and women referral networking events, where women and men come together to connect, collaborate, and openly talk about their businesses in a supportive environment.

Members also have opportunities for increased visibility through special features such as live interviews with a Houston-based talk show host connected with Rise & Connect, offering participants a platform to share their story, expertise, and services with a broader audience.

At Rise & Connect meetups, members can expect:

Intentional networking and warm introductions

Relationship-driven conversations and collaboration

Referral-building opportunities with trusted professionals

Business and professional spotlights

Guided discussions and shared learning

A professional, respectful, and encouraging atmosphere

Whether you work directly in healthcare, support the healthcare industry, or are a business owner or leader seeking meaningful connections, you are welcome here.

Come ready to rise together, connect with purpose, and build lasting professional relationships.
