Show Notes:
Millennials are accessing care very differently from previous generations. They want healthcare on their schedule that is destigmatized, holistic, and affordable. hims & hers is meeting that demand by providing comprehensive care for formerly stigmatized conditions like sexual health, mental health, hair loss, and dermatology.
