Kaitlyn Richards, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Building a broad foundation: "I’ve been working in healthcare since 2014, when I began my career on a medical-surgical floor that also cared for patients in hospice, palliative care, and head and neck oncology. I went on to spend five years in rheumatology and two years in primary care. That path gave me a lot of experience working with women’s health, preventative care, autoimmune and joint conditions, and osteoporosis, and helped me see how interconnected our bodies really are."

Seeing the gap: "Over the course of my career I’ve repeatedly seen women in perimenopause and menopause struggling with symptoms like brain fog, joint pain, weight changes, mood shifts, and hot flashes, often being told there was nothing to do but cope. That gap in care is what drew me to Midi. I wanted to be part of a model that truly looks at the whole person and takes these concerns seriously."

Listening changes lives: "One moment that has stayed with me was caring for a patient who had significant pain with intercourse. After starting vaginal estrogen, she experienced real relief, and the gratitude she expressed reinforced how much quality of life can change when someone is heard and helped. Sometimes the most powerful care starts with listening."

Partners in a plan: "At Midi, I work collaboratively with patients, focusing on what’s most bothersome to them and providing clear information so they can make well-informed decisions. My goal is always a non-judgmental, welcoming space where women feel supported and never dismissed."
