SEATTLE, March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With
many women living under orders to shelter at home, which makes
getting the healthcare they need challenging, Gennev
(http://www.gennev.com) today announced the expansion of its
virtual telemedicine clinic to include Primary Care Practitioners
(PCPs). In addition, Gennev has expanded its OB/GYN telemedicine
services to women of all ages. Click here for a complete overview
of Gennev's telemedicine services.
"Clinics are postponing non-critical appointments, but that
doesn't mean women's health challenges just stop or shouldn't be
treated," said Jill Angelo,
co-founder and CEO of Gennev. "Coughs, fevers, shortness of breath,
and having enough prescription medication on hand are on the minds
of many women. Having ready access to a PCP or OB/GYN for medical
guidance from the safety of your home without requiring travel to a
healthcare facility is what our team can offer."
Right now and for at least the immediate future, going to a
doctor's office might not be the healthiest thing to do. By moving
common women's health appointments into the cloud via a virtual
telemedicine clinic, Gennev aims to help women find answers to
common questions about hot flashes, bone health, sexual function
and more from the comfort of home. And because doctors and patients
are not required to wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in an
online environment, clinics can reserve PPEs for more critical
patients and for the front lines of treating COVID-19 patients.
"We're all a little more on edge right now and monitoring our
health more closely. This weekend I became concerned about my body
temperature and wasn't sure if I was having a hot flash or if it
was a fever," said a Gennev telemedicine patient based in
Montgomery TX. "It was so
comforting to be able to quickly book a telemedicine appointment
with a Gennev doctor, which helped alleviate my concern."
In addition to telemedicine by appointment, Gennev recently
expanded its HealthFix concierge membership to offer women
unlimited access to doctors and health coaches for medical care,
prescription support and behavioral guidance for nutrition,
exercise, sleep, stress management.
Angelo continued, "Gennev started as — and will always be — an
online clinic for women in menopause. But right now, we're doing
everything we can to get all women the medical advice,
prescriptions, and behavioral health guidance they need right now
during this COVID-19 crisis."
