Episode Description
May is Women's Health Awareness Month!
In this episode, Kate Ryder, CEO and founder of Maven, the largest virtual clinic for women and families, shares her passion for transforming a traditionally underserved healthcare sector. We explore how Maven Clinic has evolved since her seed pitch in 2016, and what she’s learned along the way.
We cover:
- How Maven has evolved from an online marketplace for women to connect with healthcare specialists to a comprehensive platform for women's and family health
- How language and terminology (even the term “women's health”) can be challenging
- Emerging trends in women's health including the need for better support for Medicaid members and the growing mental health crisis among teenagers
- How egg freezing can contribute to gender equality in the workplace
- Kate’s wishes for improving the US healthcare system, like Medicaid coverage for new moms and universal pre-K to support working families
