Gissette Silva, FNP-BC, Midi Clinician

Personal insight, professional commitment: “As a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in women’s health for more than eight years, I have focused on menopausal women in gynecology. I myself have been diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, so I know personally how critical education and support is—to help women understand what’s going on in their bodies and manage it in their own way.”

Standing in the gap: “Throughout my career, I’ve encountered clinicians who lack understanding of menopause, leaving women feeling unheard. There’s confusion around hormone therapy, with clinicians hesitant to provide necessary care due to inadequate education. Midi’s outreach to this underserved community is crucial. By filling a care gap for them, we can positively impact countless women’s lives, ensuring they receive the care they deserve.”

‍An up-close view: “Coming from a large family of women currently navigating menopause, I have witnessed the struggles and stigma they face. It is so easy for women in menopause to feel isolated, lacking in support. Assisting them through this transformative period is a privilege, knowing I’ll walk the same path one day, and offering strategies to ease their journey.”
