Almond is closing

With deep gratitude and heavy hearts, we are writing to share an important update: Almond OBGYN will be closing.

Over the last four-plus years, we have been incredibly proud of what we have built together. Our mission has always been to provide thoughtful, wellness-centered, relationship-based care - and it has been the privilege of our lives to walk alongside you through vulnerable seasons, uncertain moments, joyful milestones, energizing transformations, and everything in between. Being entrusted with your health and your stories has been a true honor and a joy for our whole team. 

After much reflection, we have made the difficult decision to close the clinic. We want to share some context because we think you deserve to understand how we arrived at this point, given the trust you placed in us. The short answer is that we were not able to create a financially sustainable model, despite having an extraordinary team of experts who are passionate about transforming women’s health. The financial realities of today’s healthcare and insurance systems have made it increasingly challenging to practice medicine in a way that aligns with our values and with the level of care we believe women deserve. We saw around us ObGyn practices closing, or selling to hospitals, or dropping maternity care or no longer taking insurance and we believed in creating a different model – but a private practice that spends what we feel is “enough” time with patients still didn’t work. This is a deeply sad moment for the entire Almond team, who have poured their hearts into building what we hoped would be the future of women’s health. We feel the heaviness of this move, for you, our patients, most of all. 

We still believe that healthcare for women requires radical transformation, and the journey of improving women’s healthcare experiences is just beginning. We are proud of the small role we played paving the way for more progress for women. There is more to come.

Over the next several weeks, our highest priority is ensuring that you are well supported. All Almond patients have received communication on what's next via multiple channels, including the Almond patient Dashboard. Please refer to our FAQ for more information.

Caring for you has been an extraordinary honor. Thank you for trusting us with your health, your questions, your fears, and your growth. We will never forget it. And we hope that everyone who experienced Almond carries forward this truth: women deserve truly thorough, compassionate care.

You will always hold a special place in our hearts.

The Almond OBGYN Team
