Who We Are:

Herself Health is an Advanced Primary Care provider for women enrolled in Medicare. 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. The Twin Cities Metro areas of Minneapolis and St Paul, MN is the location for the company’s clinical launch.
