Maternal Healthcare for ALL Moms with Dr. Pinkey Patel of Myri Health

After having her first child and experiencing first-hand the inaccessible postpartum care that plagues most mothers, Dr. Pinkey Patel set out to create an affordable, accessible solution where mothers could find OBGYN and PT reviewed information. Thus, Myri Health was born.

Dr. Pinkey Patel shares what goes into creating an app, the importance of community building, her favorite time management tip, and so much more.

Our Favorite Quotes:

• “Here half of the population, more than half of us, don’t even know that physical therapy should be a standard of care. And so that knowledge combined with my experience with having my daughter led me to this journey that I never ever expected it to be at.” – Dr. Pinkey Patel
• “Honestly, to impact more mothers, we needed to expand the team beyond myself, like there’s only so much you can do yourself.” – Dr. Pinkey Patel
• “I say that science is in the DNA of Myri, it will remain that way. Because of my background. There’s a lot of information out there that’s not validated in science.” – Dr. Pinkey Patel
