Women are grossly underserved by our current healthcare system. There are over 17 million uninsured women in the U.S. alone, plus women account for less than 30 percent of the participation in clinical trials on new medications and procedures. Even women fortunate enough to have access to care are still lacking current information, consistent diagnoses, and most importantly – a sense of empathy with other women.
Created from Experience
EmpowHer was created based on one woman’s experience with our sometimes challenging healthcare system. Michelle King Robson, EmpowHer’s Founder, suffered from serious health issues. In spite of considerable resources and access to care, Michelle cycled through several different doctors who prescribed multiple treatments and medications. After nearly a year, she found herself suffering in silence – confused, isolated and still sick. Michelle ultimately became her own advocate and started on the road to wellness. She went on to become a renowned medical advocate helping women across the country. Now Michelle has helped assemble a team of leading medical, technology and media experts at EmpowHer – all focused on expanding her vision and improving women’s health one woman at a time.
