Director, Community and Development

Herself Health

Who We Are: 

Herself Health is an Advanced Primary Care practice for women 65+ enrolled in Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. The concept was born out of a need to significantly improve the delivery and quality of primary care provided to this population and solve common challenges with the delivery of healthcare today, such as long wait times, rushed appointments, and care that is generalized, rather than personalized. We have a focus on women’s issues later in life (Bone loss, weight fluctuation, changes in mental, social and emotional health). The concept and development of this company has been led by a successful venture-backed team and board with a well-established record of building “best-in-class” companies.

What We Do: 

At Herself Health, we believe in taking a bold approach to the care of women in their most self-defining years. From their mid 60’s, as they age, women may finally have the luxury of time for self-care, self-reflection, and self-discovery. They often find a renewed purpose in life and can truly tap into the wellspring of wisdom and resilience they have built, allowing them to live their lives as fully as they aspire. We believe that trusted relationships are nurtured through effective communication and a sense of enduring connection.

We use a team approach to care. As a highly trained and experienced group of professionals, we delight in working closely with each other, our patients, their loved ones, families, and caregivers. We work hard to maximize overall wellness, preserve function, optimize health, and help each woman age with dignity and grace. Our team of experts aims to elevate our patients’ experience of healthcare by providing evidence-based, whole-person, coordinated, timely, cost effective, and values-centric care. We espouse a joyful, respectful, non-discriminatory, and non-judgmental approach to every interaction, whether with our patients or among ourselves.
