For health care purchasers, women’s health is no longer a niche offering—it’s a strategic imperative. In this episode of Radio Advisory, host Rachel (Rae) Woods welcomes Dr. Neel Shah, Chief Medical Officer at Maven Clinic—the world’s largest virtual clinic for women’s and family health—to unpack the clinical, financial, and operational benefits of investing in holistic women’s health.
As costs rise, employee expectations evolve, and working parents face mounting pressures, purchasers are navigating a complex balancing act: managing their own financial health while offering benefits that attract and retain top talent. Dr. Shah explains how partners like Maven are helping employers and purchasers offer holistic, cost-effective care across the full lifecycle—from fertility and pregnancy to postpartum and menopause.

- The role of digital health in connecting patients and employees to the clinical and non-clinical support they need—quickly and cost-effectively
