Who We Are: At Herself Health, we're on a mission to help women get more life out of life, together.

We're reimagining primary care for women on Medicare by delivering the kind of care they deserve: thoughtful, relationship-centered, and designed specifically for the realities of aging. We believe healthcare should never feel rushed, impersonal, or one-size-fits-all. That's why our care model gives patients more time with their care team and focuses on the health issues that matter most to women later in life—from post-menopausal care and bone health to weight management, preventive care, and mental, emotional, and social well-being.

We're building more than a better healthcare experience—we're building a team united by purpose. Every role at Herself Health contributes to creating exceptional experiences for our patients, our teammates, and the communities we serve.

Our values guide how we work every day:

• Her, First – We put women at the center of every decision and every interaction.
• Curious, Always Learning – We ask questions, embrace new ideas, and continuously improve.
• Own It, Act – We take initiative, follow through, and hold ourselves accountable for results.
• Together, Unstoppable – We achieve more through collaboration, trust, and supporting one another.

Today, Herself Health serves women 65+ in five primary care clinics dispersed across the Twin Cities metro of Minnesota. As we continue to grow, we're looking for passionate, mission-driven people who want to help shape the future of healthcare for women.
