About the company
Monarch partners with women’s health physicians to build and operate independent, membership-based practices. The model relies on patient memberships for care rather than insurance reimbursements; physicians pay Monarch for operational support while retaining ownership and clinical autonomy. Monarch’s back-office platform handles billing, marketing, staffing, regulatory compliance, and technology so clinicians can spend more time with patients, typically 45–60 minute visits. Led by Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Suzanne Gilberg, Monarch focuses on menopause and integrative women’s health, expanding a nationwide network of high-touch, personalized practices with the goal of reducing physician burnout and improving patient care.
