I started Hello Alpha after I found myself in one of the most difficult, and yet common, experiences for women: navigating our healthcare system. The effort, time, and mental and financial wherewithal needed to see my healthcare needs met was staggering. As I shared my experiences with fellow mothers, working women, and even healthcare providers, the picture of our broken system became clearer. So did the incredible strength and perseverance of all the women I spoke with. We deserve healthcare that puts more decisions in our hands, that doesn’t paternalize or dismiss our concerns, and honors that we are patients and people. That’s the story of why Hello Alpha was created: to rebuild a system that addresses women’s unique health needs.

Today, I’m proud to announce the next step we’re taking: Hello Alpha is now an official provider with Amazon Clinic. We’re the first and only provider dedicated to women’s health. Amazon Clinic recognized our leading role in providing primary care for women in a way that’s accessible, ridiculously affordable, and most importantly, led by patients. Our partnership expands and accelerates access to our services to treat common conditions like UTIs, acne, and migraines.

Whether you see us through our own platform or through Amazon Clinic, you’ll receive care from an expert in women’s health across all our life stages. While we specialize in women’s health, we treat all genders; even for common conditions like seasonal allergies and cold sores, you’re getting a licensed healthcare provider’s holistic review of your health. From start to finish, your healthcare is fully in your control.

In addition to reaching more women and patients, this milestone signals that women’s voices are being heard, and that the gaps in women’s health are starting to mend. I’m filled with hope that the days of bureaucratic headaches, inefficient referrals, and dismissive healthcare are on the way out. This sets the scene for the tenacity and magic of women to flourish. The future is ours to transform–with one less barrier.

My best,

Gloria Lau

Cofounder & CEO, Hello Alpha
