Tia — a startup providing hybrid primary care, OB/GYN services and mental health care to women — announced its third health system partnership on Thursday. The company is now working with Cedars-Sinai, in addition to UCSF Health and CommonSpirit Health, reports MedCity News.
Founded in 2017 and based in San Francisco, Tia is “a medical home for women,” CEO Carolyn Witte said in an interview.
“We’re the anti-point solution that aims to defragment health care for women by integrating all of their physical, reproductive and mental health care needs into a one-stop shop and integrative model,” she declared.
Witte described the services that Tia offers as “primary care plus.” Under the company’s virtual-forward care model, about 80% of patients have their first visit via telehealth, she said. During these first visits, patients typically receive Tia’s whole health exam, which combines a primary care annual visit, OB/GYN annual visit and mental health screening. These whole health exams last about 30 minutes and are conducted by a Tia clinician, usually a nurse practitioner. Read more.
