National Partnership Unites Physical and
Mental Healthcare to Improve Outcomes for Menopause
Patients
SEATTLE and SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 11, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Gennev, the nation's leading virtual menopause
clinic provider, and LifeStance Health, one of the nation's largest
providers of virtual and in-person outpatient mental healthcare,
today announced a partnership to deliver integrated care that helps
women address both the physical and mental health symptoms
associated with menopause. The partnership will provide Gennev's
patients with seamless referrals to LifeStance's multidisciplinary
team of psychiatric and psychotherapy clinicians, delivering mental
healthcare tailored to the unique needs of women in menopause.
In the United States, an
estimated 6,000 women daily and more than two million women yearly
reach menopause1. During perimenopause and menopause,
women may experience impacts to their emotional health, including
new or increased symptoms of depression, anxiety and other mental
health conditions. Mental health is a critical component of overall
well-being, and Gennev clinicians will work closely with LifeStance
clinicians as a collaborative care team to provide evidence-based,
comprehensive treatment recommendations that offer a whole-person
approach to menopause.
"Gennev is committed to delivering the most comprehensive
menopause care for women, and our partnership with LifeStance will
empower them to take control of their physical and emotional health
needs," said Jill Angelo, CEO,
Gennev.
"Many women struggle with behavioral health symptoms during
menopause, but we shouldn't accept that as the status quo. Research
shows that proactively addressing behavioral health conditions
during menopause reduces the likelihood of a patient requiring
crisis care. The results are improved quality of life and, ideally,
a reduction of downstream behavioral health costs," said Dr.
Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su, MD, Chief
Medical Officer, Gennev.
"We look forward to partnering with Gennev and bringing
LifeStance's trusted, affordable and personalized mental healthcare
to their patients, ensuring they receive integrated treatment that
specifically addresses their unique concerns during menopause,"
said Dr. Anisha Patel-Dunn, Chief
Medical Officer, LifeStance. "By collaborating with Gennev's
clinicians, we can more effectively care for the whole-person
health of women experiencing menopause. LifeStance is focused on
continuing to integrate the delivery of physical and mental
healthcare to address the comprehensive needs of patients, improve
outcomes, increase satisfaction and advance more efficient use of
healthcare resources."
