Maven Clinic

The women’s and family health benefits market is more complex than ever—and more crowded. Every vendor promises comprehensive care, large provider networks, and better outcomes. But for HR and benefits leaders, the real challenge is knowing which models can actually deliver. Too often, employers are told they have to choose between: ➡️ Lower cost or better care ➡️ Technology or human support ➡️ Global scale or local expertise But these aren’t inevitable trade-offs. They’re often signs of outdated or incomplete models. Join us for a webinar on How the Best HR Leaders Evaluate Benefits featuring: Rachel Winokur, Maven Board Member & Founder and CEO of TailorCare Katie Boehm Rooney, Chief Financial Officer at Maven Clinic; and Lindsay Bower, Senior Principal at Mercer Together, they’ll unpack what sophisticated benefits buyers are asking vendors today, how to evaluate women’s and family health solutions through the lens of total cost of care rather tha program cost alone, and what red flags employers should watch for when assessing market claims. 📆 May 13 at 2 p.m. ET 📍Register here: https://lnkd.in/gWGaeCu4

Maven's Clinical Research Institute was at #ACOG2026 this week, presenting new research on the impact of virtual birth planning for high-risk pregnancies. For many pregnant women, birth planning is not routinely incorporated into standard prenatal care. Appointments are short, and it's hard to make space and time for talking through preferences, fears, and what-ifs. Virtual birth planning alleviates many of those barriers and can make a real impact on shared decision-making. According to Maven's new research, high-risk patients who used virtual birth planning appointments saw a nearly 4x increase in shared decision-making. For a population that faces more complexity, more uncertainty, and more at stake, that kind of shift in agency isn't incremental — it can be transformative. 📰 Our own Julie Anderson broke it down for Contemporary OB/GYN: https://lnkd.in/g-FWCH2J

Some rooms just feel different. The Marie Claire x Moms First Power Moms dinner was one of them. Maven was proud to sponsor the second annual Power Moms — an evening honoring mothers who are reshaping culture, policy, business, healthcare, sports, the arts, and family life. From the 2026 honorees to the leaders and advocates in the room, the message was clear: supporting moms is not just a personal issue. It is a workplace issue, a healthcare issue, an economic issue, and a societal imperative. Thank you to Marie Claire, Moms First, Reshma Saujani, Nikki Ogunnaike, and all of the honorees, speakers, and partners who brought this powerful conversation to life. We're proud to stand alongside so many change-makers advancing a better future for moms and families.

Thank you to Harlem Capital and Jarrid Tingle for a great conversation with our founder and CEO Kate Ryder about building in women's health! Kate sat down with Jarrid to talk about Maven's growth, the traits that define great founders, the role of AI in the future of care, and why putting women and families at the center of healthcare changes everything. If you're building in healthcare or just want to understand why women's health is one of the most important and underserved markets out there, this one is worth a listen.

“Maycember” is here. 🗓️ For many working parents, May can feel a lot like December: a calendar full of school events, end-of-year celebrations, field trips, teacher gifts, sports banquets, graduations, camp deadlines, childcare gaps, and emotional transitions. Except this time, it’s all happening while work is still moving at full speed. That overlap can show up as fatigue, distraction, stress, or the feeling of being constantly behind. Not because parents are less committed at work, but because this season asks families to manage a high volume of logistics, emotions, and decisions all at once. A few ways Maven Parent Coaches often help families reduce the load during busy transition periods: ➡️ Plan around “anchor moments.” Instead of trying to control the whole month, identify the few routines that matter most: bedtime, morning prep, meals, or one protected family reset each week. ➡️ Name the transition for kids. Endings can bring big feelings, even when they’re exciting. ➡️ Talking about what’s changing, what’s staying the same, and what comes next can help children feel more grounded. ➡️ Simplify where possible. Not every event needs the perfect outfit, homemade treat, or extra flourish. Lowering the bar is not the same as opting out. ➡️ Build in recovery time. A packed calendar may be unavoidable, but small pauses before or after high-energy days can help both kids and parents regulate. ✨ For employers, this is a good moment to remember: working parents don’t only need support during major life events. They need support during the ordinary, predictable pressure points of family life too. Flexibility, manager empathy, and benefits that help employees navigate parenting, childcare, and family transitions can make a meaningful difference. Maycember is real and when working parents have access to flexibility, understanding, and support for the everyday logistics of family life, it can make a meaningful difference in how they navigate busy seasons like this one.

Maven is at #ACOG2026 this week, with new research from our Clinical Research Institute on high-risk pregnancy outcomes. Our latest poster examines virtual birth planning appointments as a mechanism to improve outcomes for high-risk pregnancies, drawn from a retrospective cohort study of 979 Maven members. Key findings: → Increased odds of shared decision-making during labor and delivery → Decreased odds of NICU admission → A directional decrease in odds of preterm birth These results reinforce a core belief behind Maven's model: when clinically rigorous virtual care is integrated into the pregnancy journey, it can help close support gaps, strengthen self-advocacy, and contribute to better outcomes. Thank you to our research team for helping build the evidence base for more accessible, connected maternity care. We look forward to sharing more at #ACOG2026 in Washington, DC this week. See you all there!

Maven has been named one of TIME's 10 most influential health and life science companies of 2026. This recognition reflects what has guided us from the beginning. As Kate Ryder puts it: "We built a care model that uniquely serves women, and starts to get them a bigger seat at the table when it comes to their own health care." It also reflects the work of thousands of Maven employees, providers, and partners who have spent years building something new — care that is comprehensive, connected, and built for real life, from fertility and maternity to parenting, pediatrics, menopause, and beyond. We're proud of how far this work has come, and energized by what's ahead. Thank you to TIME for the recognition, and to the Maven team, our providers, partners, and members who make this work possible every day.

Call it a career fair, but we saw a glimpse of the future. ✨ We had such a great time participating in the NYC Computer Science Fair, where thousands of NYC public school students came together to explore careers in technology and innovation. At Maven, we’re proud to show students what health tech can look like in action — from how technology can make healthcare more accessible and connected, to the many different paths a career in this space can take. It was energizing to meet so many curious, thoughtful students and share more about what we do, how we’re building better healthcare, and why this work matters. We’re also especially grateful to the Maven team members who represented us at the fair. Thank you for bringing our mission to life and helping students see the impact technology can have on people’s health and wellbeing. The future of women's and family health tech is in good hands. #CSFairNYC.

This week is National Infertility Awareness Week. One in six people worldwide struggles to build a family. Most carry it quietly, through clinic corridors and late-night searches, in bathrooms and waiting rooms, in places the rest of us rarely see. For 50 years, RESOLVE: The National Infertility and Family Building Association has stood in that quiet with them—naming it, normalizing it, and insisting on better. Their new CEO, Danielle Melfi, has spent her entire career doing the same thing in every room she's ever been in: finding the people who needed someone to show up, and showing up. As a community organizer. At AmeriCorps. At the White House. This Friday, April 24 at 12:00 PM ET, I'm sitting down with her to talk about the state of fertility care and family building, what it takes to advocate in a fraught moment, and what employers can do better for the families in their workforce. Join us here. https://lnkd.in/e8K-Hb25 

National Infertility Awareness Week is a meaningful reminder that infertility touches far more than someone’s physical health. It can shape how people move through their relationships, their work, their sense of self, and their hopes for the future. It can be deeply isolating, especially because so much of the experience still goes unspoken. We talk often about what it means to build a family. We talk far less about the tradeoffs, grief, and uncertainty that can come with trying to. That’s part of why this week matters. This year’s theme, More Than, reflects the reality that infertility is never just one story, and never just one part of someone’s life. And each year, our partners at RESOLVE: The National Infertility and Family Building Association continue to bring visibility to that full picture. At Maven, we believe people deserve support that reflects the reality of this journey: care that is evidence-based, deeply human, and grounded in the understanding that infertility affects every part of life, not just one aspect of health. This week, and every week, we’re committed to showing up for the individuals and families navigating infertility—and to making that journey feel more supported, connected, and seen.
