Almara Women’s Health Unites 10 Twin Cities Clinics to Challenge Health Care Giants

Almara Women’s Health, launched earlier this month, was born out of two main goals: to provide by-women for-women health care while also helping smaller women’s focused practices survive by working together under one brand. “We created Almara because the health care system too often flattens what it means to be a woman,” Cho, president of Almara, said in a recent statement. The 10 combined practices offer clients a wide variety of specialized clinics and over 65 diverse medical professionals, covering the spectrum of all-ages women’s care in one database. Services include primary care, reproductive health and family planning, breast cancer programs, pregnancy care, menopause and hormonal care.

Why 20s Are the Best Time to Find a Women’s Health Provider

You’re in your twenties. Maybe you’re nailing your career goals, or maybe you’re still figuring it all out. Maybe you’re thinking about starting a family someday, or maybe not. You could be focused on travel, love, or simply learning to love yourself. No matter where life has you right now—your reproductive health matters.

And not in a “you should go to the doctor because you’re supposed to” kind of way. We’re talking about something much more personal: choosing someone who gets you, listens to you, and can walk beside you through every twist and turn—from your first birth control conversation to your last hot flash. That kind of relationship? It starts now.

Your Teen’s First Gynecology Visit: How to Make It a Positive Step, Not a Scary One

There’s a quiet shift that happens when your daughter enters her teen years. Suddenly, her world changes—her body, her emotions, her questions. And just like that, you’re no longer guiding her through toddler tantrums or school drop-offs. Now, you’re helping her navigate something deeply personal: her own body.

One of the most meaningful—and sometimes nerve-wracking—steps is her first gynecology appointment. And while it might bring up some anxiety (for both of you), it’s also a powerful opportunity to lay the foundation for lifelong confidence, body awareness, and health.

Let’s talk about how to make that first appointment feel safe, respectful, and completely her own.

What Is Menopause? Symptoms, Stages & Age Explained

You’re in your 40s or 50s. Your period is skipping around. Sleep is weird. Moods are unpredictable. And one minute you’re freezing, the next you’re drenched in sweat. If any of that sounds familiar—you’re not alone. You might be entering menopause. Or maybe you’re already in it. Either way, it’s not just a “phase” or a punchline. It’s a big transition. And it deserves support, understanding, and a whole lot more honesty. This isn’t just about biology. This is about how you feel—in your body, in your mind, and in your life. Let’s talk about what is menopause, what’s actually going on, how to make sense of the changes, and why the right support can make all the difference.
