With her concierge health primary care network, Lisa Larkin is committed to disrupting the medical establishment’s longstanding neglect of middle-aged women. Her company, Ms. Medicine, is building female-focused medical centers nationwide. “We’re advancing gender-specific, comprehensive, data-driven, evidence-based care, especially for midlife women, where the need is huge,” says Larkin, an internal medicine and women’s health specialist who trained at Yale Medical School and the University of Chicago and ran the University of Cincinnati Women’s Health Center. Since launching Ms. Medicine in 2018 in Cincinnati, Larkin has opened a northern Virginia office and expects to add sites in Michigan, Florida and Ohio in 2020. A breast cancer survivor, Larkin has also designed MyBreastRiskIQ, a digital health startup whose mission is to educate and inform women about their breast cancer risk and prevention strategies.
