About Us

At Herself Health, we're on a mission to help women get more life out of life, together. We are reimagining primary care for women 50+ by creating the time, trust, and clinical focus needed to address the realities of aging - including menopause and post-menopausal health, bone health, cardiometabolic health, weight management, preventive care, and mental, emotional, and social well-being.

Our values shape how we care for patients and how we work with one another. We put Her First in every decision, stay Curious and Always Learning, Own It and Act when something can be better, and believe we are Together, Unstoppable when we collaborate with purpose. Herself Health currently serves patients across five clinics in the Twin Cities, and we are exploring how our relationship-centered model could support women in new communities.

About This Future Opportunity

Herself Health is exploring a potential future expansion into the Greater Charlotte region across Mecklenburg, Union, Gaston, Iredell, and Rowan Counties. This is an exploratory talent posting, not an active opening. A clinic location, opening timeline, compensation range, and hiring dates have not yet been established. By sharing your interest, you can help us better understand the local provider community and be among the first considered if plans move forward.

Our search includes physicians living in or interested in communities such as Charlotte, Matthews, Monroe, Gastonia, Mooresville, Salisbury, and surrounding areas. The eventual practice location, if approved, would be within Mecklenburg, Union, Gaston, Iredell, or Rowan County.

About You

You are a thoughtful, collaborative physician who wants to practice medicine in a way that puts patients first. You bring strong clinical judgment, listen with empathy, and are energized by the opportunity to improve how care is delivered. You are comfortable learning, using data to guide decisions, taking ownership, and partnering across an interdisciplinary team. You may also be excited by the opportunity to help shape a growing clinical model and, potentially, a new local practice from the ground up.

The Primary Care Physician's Role

The Primary Care Physician (MD/DO) is a key member of our interdisciplinary care team, providing comprehensive, longitudinal care for women with complex and evolving health needs.

Direct patient care is the heart of this role. Our physicians also contribute to clinical quality, population health, and the continued development of Herself Health's care model. Working within a value-based care environment, you will help improve patient outcomes and experience, support accurate documentation and coding, and advance quality measures, including HEDIS performance.
