A recent report from the NATIONAL CONFIDENTIAL ENQUIRY INTO PATIENT OUTCOME AND DEATH has emphasized the urgent need for changes in endometriosis care, advocating for it to be treated with the same seriousness as chronic conditions like diabetes. At Visana Health, this call resonates deeply. We began our journey with a focus on endometriosis, recognizing early on the gaps in care for this debilitating condition. Today, our mission has evolved to provide comprehensive, whole-person care for all women's health conditions, inspired by the belief that every aspect of a woman’s health deserves attention and dedicated support. The NCEPOD report highlights the necessity for ongoing management of endometriosis, rather than treating it as isolated episodes. This is a philosophy we’ve embedded in our care model from the start. We understand that endometriosis affects all areas of life, which is why our approach is holistic and multi-disciplinary, designed to address both physical symptoms and the broader impacts on a woman’s life. We help to reduce unnecessary surgeries while alleviating symptoms and increasing quality of life. As we continue to expand our services, our commitment to women's health remains unwavering. The insights from the NCEPOD report reinforce the importance of our work and remind us of the impact we can have on improving healthcare outcomes and quality of life for women everywhere.

A recent report from the The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine highlights a pressing issue in healthcare: the significant lack of research into chronic conditions disproportionately affecting women. This gap in research not only hinders comprehensive understanding but also leads to poorer medical treatment for women. Chronic illnesses such as Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and conditions like endometriosis affect women more frequently and severely. However, the current research landscape fails to adequately address these issues, particularly for Black women, who have a higher mortality rate from chronic illnesses than White women. The report underscores the necessity for focused efforts to improve diagnostic tools for female-specific conditions and to differentiate between overlapping symptoms of various chronic diseases. At Visana Health, we recognize the critical need for focused research and improved healthcare for women. Our clinical model is designed to address conditions that disproportionately affect women, providing comprehensive and personalized care. By focusing on diseases such as endometriosis, PCOS, and other chronic conditions, we aim to fill the gaps left by traditional healthcare approaches.

A new report from The Commonwealth Fund highlights alarming issues in women's health, especially in states with the highest maternal mortality rates like Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana. At Visana Health, we're addressing these gaps with a comprehensive, accessible care model that supports women from preconception to postpartum and beyond. At Visana Health, we decrease pregnancy risks and reduce the need for costly fertility treatments through personalized health plans with world-class clinical standards. Our comprehensive care model includes continuous care with virtual consultations and health coach check-ins to manage conditions like PCOS and improve overall well-being. The impact of such care is evident in states with the lowest maternal mortality rates, like Vermont and California, where comprehensive care makes a significant difference. These states set a benchmark for success by offering more maternity care providers and ensuring access to prenatal and postpartum care. Vermont, for example, boasts the highest rate of women receiving prenatal care and the fewest uninsured women ages 19–64, contributing to their top ranking in maternal health.
