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?

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.
