FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WOCIP Rebrands as OneWe Reach to Expand Mission and Community
September 2, 2025
[Somerset, NJ] – WOCIP, the premier global non-profit focused on influencing who has access to health innovations, will now be known as OneWe Reach. The name change reflects the organization’s evolution into an integrated partner serving all professionals committed to a healthier world across the healthcare ecosystem—from biopharmaceuticals to healthcare delivery, payers, and technology innovation. The new brand will be publicly unveiled at the 9th Annual Conference in October.For nearly ten years, the organization has grown and empowered a network of 24,000+ professionals spanning the US, Europe, and Africa who develop and deliver health innovations to patients. As healthcare transformation accelerates, this diverse community of leaders across scientific, medical, and business functions and sectors provides strategic intelligence that makes OneWe Reach the partner of choice for organizations navigating complex market dynamics.
“This is a critical moment for all professionals dedicated to improving health and well-being. Our evolution reflects our expanded ability to serve as an integrated strategic partner. In today’s resource-constrained environment, organizations seek partners who multiply their capabilities rather than consume their budgets—and OneWe Reach provides this synergy,” explains Charlotte Jones-Burton, MD, MS, founder and President.
“From its beginning, WOCIP has called for unity—and now, that call is amplified,” explains LaCresha Lightfoot, Executive Director. “There is only one ‘we,’ and it will take all of us, working together, to transform health outcomes for all.”
OneWe Reach: An Evolution, Not a Departure
OneWe Reach is not a departure; it is an evolution that captures the movement’s enduring strength and original vision. ” The new name is a truer reflection of who we have always been: connected, courageous, and committed. Ten years in, our true north remains the same,” says Keniesha Watford, a founding member and Board of Director.
Launching at the 9th Annual Conference
The new brand will be launched at the upcoming conference, themed “The Homecoming: Love, Lead, Lift,” where the organization will celebrate this milestone and look ahead to what’s next. As OneWe Reach, we will continue to lead, connect, and transform because when we reach as one, the potential is greater for all people to have access to improved health outcomes and well-being.
