Monarch

Direct-care, membership-based women's health platform

Overview

Monarch partners with women's health physicians to build and operate independent, membership-based practices. It provides a back-office platform that handles billing, marketing, staffing, regulatory support, and technology integration so clinicians can offer 45- to 60-minute, proactive, personalized care in a direct-care model funded by member fees. Unlike traditional groups, Monarch does not take equity and preserves physician ownership and clinical autonomy, differentiating itself through its ownership model and focus on sustainable practice infrastructure. Its goal is to expand a nationwide network of independent, high-touch women’s health practices that reduce physician burnout and improve patient outcomes.

Dr. Kameelah Phillips launches Evolve Gyn in New York with Monarch partnership

Dr. Kameelah Phillips has launched Evolve Gyn in New York's Upper East Side in partnership with Monarch, a platform transforming women's healthcare. The board-certified OB/GYN is shifting from caring for over 7,500 patients to a membership-based model with just 300 members, enabling 45-to-60-minute appointments instead of the typical 10-to-15-minute visits. The practice focuses on perimenopause, menopause, and specialised gynecological needs. Only 35% of midlife women report discussing menopause with their doctor, whilst 75% of OB/GYNs experience burnout under insurance-driven constraints. Dr. Phillips joins Monarch's expanding network of physicians launching independent concierge practices across the US, including doctors in Austin, Charleston, Aventura, Beverly Hills, and Farmington Hills.
