About Us:

At Herself Health, our mission is simple: “We Help Women Get More Life Out of Life, Together.” The “together” is intentional - We have built a new, collaborative model of value-based primary care for women 50+ to solve long-standing problems: Rushed appointments, long wait times, and care that's generalized, rather than specialized, to women’s preferences and concerns.  

We are thrilled to expand our whole-person clinic model to the state of North Carolina in 2027. Our team of colleagues is on a mission to innovate the primary care landscape for women 50+. We’re seeking passionate, mission-driven clinicians to join our growing team. Will you join us? 

About You: 
 
Our clinicians are what make Herself Health great and we have a special DNA – A passion for patient experience, clinical innovation and quality outcomes that empower women to live their best lives. We foster a culture of collaboration, excellence and the willingness to roll up our sleeves and learn as we grow. We are seeking clinicians who resonate with our mission and core values:  

Her, First. Curious, Always Learning. Own it, Act. Together, Unstoppable.     
 
The Primary Care Physician’s Role: 
 
The Primary Care Physician (MD/DO) is a key member of our interdisciplinary care team. In the role, you will evaluate our patients’ acute and chronic conditions, manage their multiple medications, mental health, socio-emotional needs, and provide empathetic patient education. The PCP will work closely with fellow clinical teammates to provide comprehensive primary care. While direct patient care is the primary focus of the position, our PCPs also assist with development, implementation, and achievement of key organizational objectives and metrics. Functioning as a value-based care model, our team of clinicians proactively and strategically manage our population’s health in accordance with IHI’s Quintuple Aim, adopt best practices in coding compliance and achieve our HEDIS quality metrics.
