It will also expand its partnerships with employers, who provide June\u2019s platform to employees to access women\u2019s health and wellness benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the source: \u201cThere are so many conditions and stages of care that come into the women\u2019s health continuum,\u201d co-founder and CEO Lori Casselman told BetaKit.\u00a0 \u201cWe want to be able to offer the most comprehensive, specialized, virtual health benefit for those organizations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following the thread: According to a survey by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.benefitsandpensionsmonitor.com\/benefits\/wellbeing\/survey-shows-canadian-women-walk-away-from-jobs-over-weak-workplace-benefits\/393173\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Benchmark Benefits<\/a>, 40 percent of Canadian women aren\u2019t satisfied with their current benefits package. Casselman says a key part of June Health\u2019s offering is \u201cdemystifying\u201d coverage, as many women don\u2019t understand what they\u2019re covered for and under-utilize their benefits.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">June Health is trying to bridge that disconnect. The 45-person team, including its clinical practitioners, has expanded the platform beyond its initial target market of menopause care. It now includes a range of offerings for women: mental health support, fertility treatments, parenting coaching, weight management, and specific treatments for conditions like PCOS and endometriosis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Final thought: The news comes amid a surge of interest among consumers for telemedicine options as healthcare systems across Canada are strained. Though the care offerings might be similar, in Casselman\u2019s eyes, June Health is fundamentally different from consumer options like Felix Health because it was built with a B2B model in mind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feature image courtesy June Health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Securian Canada, PointClickCare co-founders, and others join as investors. &#13; A year after launching, June Health has secured&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":746149,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[267241,62,46207,49,48,3234,84,392,16122,267240,267239,905,267242,4951,87574,3302],"class_list":["post-746148","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-agetech-capital","tag-ai","tag-briefs","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-funding","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-healthtech","tag-june-health","tag-lori-casselman","tag-ontario","tag-pointclickcare","tag-saas","tag-securian-canada","tag-toronto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746148","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=746148"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/746148\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/746149"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=746148"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=746148"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=746148"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
