How Herself Health is Transforming Primary Care for Women 65+ w/ Dr. Kendell Cannon

The call for more patient-centered and humanized healthcare has never been louder. The pandemic has shed light on the need to reevaluate how we approach healthcare, and organizations like Herself Health are at the forefront of this transformation.We had the privilege of chatting with Dr. Kendell Cannon, the Chief Medical Officer at Herself Health, in a recent webinar to discuss the importance of humanizing healthcare and how Herself Health is leading the charge in redefining the healthcare experience for women as they age.Herself Health was born out of recognizing that women have unique healthcare needs that often go unaddressed.Women over 65 face a higher risk for conditions such as Alzheimer's and osteoporosis. Yet, they are also more likely to be misdiagnosed.One of the core issues in healthcare today is that patients often feel unseen, unheard, and blamed by the system.Dr. Cannon and her team at Herself Health are on a mission to change this by focusing on the whole person, not just their medical conditions.Understanding their stories, considering the broader context of their lives, treating them as individuals with unique needs, and fostering a sense of partnership are key to a positive patient experience and achieving better health outcomes.Dr. Cannon emphasizes the importance of making patients feel like partners in their care journey.She believes that healthcare providers should be open to unlearning certain practices and biases that hinder patient-centered care. The skills needed for person-centered care may not align with traditional medical training, making ongoing education and training essential.Herself Health's approach, rooted in a deep understanding of women's unique healthcare needs and a commitment to humanizing healthcare, holds promise for a more patient-centric and cost-effective future.Tune in to this fascinating conversation to discover how a patient-centered approach is transforming healthcare for women!Key TakeawaysIntro (00:00)Meet Dr. Kendell Cannon (00:49)Why healthcare needs humanizing (04:39Herself Health patient-centric approach (06:23)The power of tech to humanize healthcare (15:37)Herself Health fellowship and development (17:25)Tips to improve patient experience for women (18:36)Digital health products for older women (20:46)Beyond medicines and diagnoses (22:31)Additional Resources- Herself Health Website: https://www.herself-health.com/- Dr. Kendell Cannon’s LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kendell-cannon/---- Schedule an executive briefing session here: https://fidelumhealth.com/contact/- Unlock the power of our HUMAN Brand™ insights model for enhanced patient, team member, and care provider experiences: https://fidelumhealth.com/
