Herself Health Launches Women Growing Bolder Health Alliance to Strengthen Care for Women

Community-Driven Provider Network Improves Healthcare Access, Coordination, and Continuity

Herself Health, the leading healthcare company providing comprehensive primary care to women, has launched the Women Growing Bolder Health Alliance, a curated preferred provider network built to improve access to high-quality care for women.

The alliance aims to simplify the care journey for women, connecting them to trusted providers across multiple disciplines while maintaining continuity, coordination, and a shared sense of purpose. The alliance brings together independent, culturally aligned practices that collaborate to deliver care as one unified team.

“Our goal is to create a seamless experience for women by collaborating with top providers who work hand-in-hand with our teams to align care plans, close gaps, and provide support that evolves with women’s lives and needs,” said Deb Dittberner, M.D., chief clinical officer and head of population health at Herself Health. “We designed this alliance to meet those needs, while staying rooted in our value-based care model. By teaming up with local partners who know our communities and share our passion for improving women's health, we’re building a smarter system that puts patients at the center.”

Launched in May, the alliance began with a focus on the Twin Cities and includes inaugural partners such as Summit Orthopedics, RAYUS Radiology, MNGI Digestive Health, and Premier Women’s Health of Minnesota. These organizations were selected for their clinical excellence, patient-centered approach, and shared commitment to advancing women’s health.

“For many of our patients, what matters most is feeling seen, heard, and supported throughout their care journey. Too often, care can feel fragmented or impersonal – especially for women navigating complex health needs later in life,” said Tammy Chiesa, M.D., internal medicine physician at Summit Orthopedics. “Being part of a shared care model allows us to offer our clinical expertise, and the continuity, transparency, and warmth that every patient deserves. That’s how we improve outcomes and the overall experience of care.”

Alliance members are also actively engaging across each other’s organizations to support clinician education and strengthen team knowledge on conditions affecting women at greater rates such as arthritis, Alzheimer’s, osteoporosis and more. As part of this shared learning approach, RAYUS Radiology recently led a session on breast cancer screening. The alliance is also exploring co-location “pop-ups” and other opportunities to bring services directly into the communities where patients already receive care.

“This partnership provides easier access to screening and diagnostic breast imaging services for older women,” said Dr. Trisha R. Prescott, a board-certified radiologist and breast imaging specialist at RAYUS Radiology. “Early detection is critical. It saves lives by identifying cancer before it spreads, allowing for more effective and less invasive treatment options. Through this collaboration, RAYUS delivers a streamlined and comprehensive approach to breast evaluation and diagnosis.”

The Women Growing Bolder Health Alliance is only just getting started with plans already underway to expand into additional practices such as cardiology and oncology, ensuring broader coverage across high-priority care areas. As new partners come on board and collaboration deepens, the alliance will continue to evolve – building a future where women receive connected, compassionate, and cutting-edge care, close to home and tailored to their lives.
