Angela Lis, MSN, FNP-C, Midi Clinician

Meeting patients’ needs: “While working for more than 12 years in family medicine, patients kept coming to me with hot flashes, vaginal dryness, recurrent UTIs, and other menopause symptoms. When they went to their primary care doctors, they would come away with supplements, at best. I hadn't received formal menopause training, and wanted to offer the most informed care possible, so I did my own research, turning to academic studies and diverse resources.”

Dedication, rewarded: “It's been fantastic to be able to treat women in midlife. Patients return to me ecstatic, saying their sleep, marriages, work, and overall quality of life have improved. And if a patient doesn’t reach her goals, I keep investigating. I stick with it until I get them feeling the way they want to feel!”

‍A personal stake in improved care: “I'm especially conscientious about really listening to patients because I want to give them the kind of care I wasn't able to access. Menopause is still in my future and I want great treatment for my patients, and for myself.”
