\nCollaboration to focus on addressing specific health needs of women in communities nationwide<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

NEW YORK & BRENTWOOD, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lifepoint Health\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>, a diversified healthcare delivery network dedicated to making communities healthier<\/i>\u00ae<\/sup>, and Midi Health<\/a>, a virtual clinic making expert care accessible and affordable for women experiencing the hormonal changes of midlife, have announced a new collaboration to improve care for women as they age. Together, Lifepoint and Midi seek to fill a significant gap in care for women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause by leveraging telemedicine to serve patients across the United States. Once it is fully operationalized across Lifepoint\u2019s facilities, the collaboration will deliver high-quality virtual care to thousands of women across the country.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cLifepoint serves a wide range of diverse communities from coast to coast, including those located outside of major urban areas,\u201d said Joanna Strober, Midi co-founder and chief executive officer (CEO). \u201cMidi connects women ages 40-65 who may live farther away from larger cities with convenient and specialized virtual care for the specific health concerns they may face as they age. This collaboration with Lifepoint represents a huge leap forward in our mission to put high-quality care within reach for all women.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMidi was launched in 2022 with a $14 million seed investment co-led by Felicis and SemperVirens. Lifepoint made an additional investment via its 25m Health<\/a> joint venture to fuel Midi\u2019s nationwide expansion. The market is vast: Hormonal changes through the menopause transition cause life-altering symptoms for 57 million American women, yet the vast majority do not receive treatment.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cOur collaboration with Midi is part of Lifepoint\u2019s efforts to ensure inclusive care for those we serve and demonstrates our commitment to meeting patients where they are on their health journey,\u201d said Cherie Sibley, RN, FACHE, acute care service line president of Lifepoint Health. \u201cWomen face a number of unique health concerns as they age, and Midi helps virtually connect them with skilled providers who can deliver the specialized care they need to navigate the post-childbearing years. We are excited about this new relationship and look forward to how our collaboration will further advance our mission of making communities healthier.\u201d<\/i>\n<\/p>\n

\nPart of Lifepoint Health\u2019s \u201cLifepoint Forward<\/a>\u201d innovation strategy, this collaboration will not only improve care for patients, but it will also help alleviate the burden placed on primary care providers and other women\u2019s health providers who may lack this specialty \u2013 or the time necessary \u2013 to adequately address a patient\u2019s unique needs at this stage of her life.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe are committed to bringing cutting-edge technologies and innovative solutions that are traditionally only found in Silicon Valley or at large academic medical centers to our community-based facilities across the country,\u201d said Jessie Beegle, senior vice president and chief innovation officer of Lifepoint Health. \u201cLifepoint is pleased to support this important segment of women\u2019s health, and we look forward to expanding specialty care offerings through Midi to better care for women as they age.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nMidi will work closely with Lifepoint\u2019s hospitals to enhance care for patients experiencing perimenopause and menopause with tech-enabled, high-touch telehealth services. Lifepoint providers will be educated on the services offered by Midi and may decide to refer their patients for clinically appropriate services.\n<\/p>\n
