Rachel Bergstrom-Carlson's Company Details
Whole Woman's Health is a privately-owned healthcare management organization, committed to providing holistic care to women. We operate a group of women's clinics providing comprehensive gynecology services, including abortion care. It is our philosophy that each woman must be at the center of her own healthcare decisions, and that treating each woman holistically— honoring her head and her heart as well as her body -- will better serve women and improve women's health. We offer a progressive, feminist environment for professional growth and satisfaction. Our staff consists of committed, innovative, talented, and fun people. We employ physicians, nurses, medical assistants, counselors, social workers, administrative assistants, and patient advocates. Working at Whole Woman's Health changes your life. Amy Hagstrom Miller founded Whole Woman's Health in 2003 after seeing a need in our communities for a more holistic model of healthcare. "Abortion and other reproductive decisions are not simply medical matters," says Hagstrom Miller. "When a woman makes a decision about her pregnancy and her body, all the 'big stuff' comes under examination—her family, religion, life, death, sexuality, power, identity, and values."Since then, we have expanded to include two administrative headquarter offices, a central call center, and we manage eight clinics spanning six states. Our clinics see more than 30,000 women a year for reproductive healthcare. We are extremely active in advocacy, training, and education within the communities we serve. Our goal is to destigmatize abortion and create a safe space for all people, whether it's within our clinics or in the communities we live.
