Dr. Caroline Morgan Berchuck, MD, MPH, is a physician for women in midlife and Co-Director of Women's Health for the McKinsey Health Institute.

As she puts it, the women's health gap is a data problem, a research problem, a care delivery problem, a funding problem, and a priority problem. Women weren't counted in the studies. Physicians weren't trained on what makes women's physiology distinct. And our education and healthcare systems were built around the male body as the default, with implications we are still measuring.

Caroline is an author of seminal reports on the women's health gap that have changed how we understand women's health and inspired movements across healthcare and philanthropy, including:

• Closing the women's health gap: A $1 trillion opportunity to improve lives and economies (with the World Economic Forum, 2024)
• Blueprint to close the women's health gap: How to improve lives and economies for all (with the World Economic Forum, 2025)
• Closing the Black maternal-health gap: Healthier lives, stronger economies (2025)

Caroline holds a BS from Davidson College, an MD from Emory University School of Medicine, and an MPH from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. She completed her family medicine residency at UCSF with a concentration in health system leadership, and has served on the faculty of Harvard Medical School and Boston University School of Medicine. She formerly served as the VP of Clinical Innovation at Commonwealth Care Alliance, a non-profit for people with complex needs, and as a Chief Medical Officer at Cityblock Health.

A proud graduate of City Schools of Decatur, Caroline is also a Rotary kid: her father, J. Tom Morgan, is a former member of Decatur Rotary, and she spent many Friday lunches at the old Courthouse.
