Ms. Laws is among a cohort of 50 leaders representing the builders, designers, and innovators who are shaping the future of digital health.
The Top 50 Digital Health Awards honorees underwent a rigorous selection process.

Reflecting on this achievement, Ms. Laws expressed her gratitude, saying, “I am honored to be counted among a remarkable cohort of leaders who are collectively forging a brighter future for healthcare. This includes our valued partners within our Hopelab Ventures portfolio. Together, we are poised to drive innovation and foster equitable systems that revolutionize healthcare for historically marginalized communities.”
