Pandia Health’s Mission

Pandia Health’s Mission

Our mission is simple: improve women’s lives by making healthcare better, easier, and safer. We do this by providing accessible and high-quality online women’s healthcare with a simple, personal, and convenient patient experience.

We have built an exceptional in-house telemedicine group with expert doctors, offering medication fulfillment with Pandia Pharmacy and our partners, and 5-star excellent customer care, starting with birth control and acne treatment.

Our promise

Excellence. Pandia Health was founded and is led by an academic female doctor who made this company for herself, her daughters, and everyone with a uterus. All our doctors are experts in women's health and reproductive justice advocates.

Expertise. Our accomplished doctors come with decades of experience, with many having taught at major academic hospitals and medical schools.We put your health first. Because we’re doctor-led, you can be confident that we’ll prescribe the best birth control and/or acne treatment with the least side effects for your age, race, and BMI.

Education. Pandia Health’s commitment to health education extends to ensuring our diverse patients are empowered. That means providing women with the information they need to make the right decisions for their bodies. We seek to educate women on the realities of birth control, acne, and menopause treatment, including its limitations, benefits, and wide range of uses through informative videos, mailer public service announcements (PSAs), and for our Telemedicine customers, access to our doctors’ expertise.

Backed by the best

Our Story

We chose the name Pandia Health because she’s the Greek goddess of healing, light, and full moon. We’re about women’s empowerment. Also Pandia: Pan = every, Día = day. Pandia Health has you covered every day of the year. We call that “Pandia Peace of Mind.”

In 2016, while preparing a lecture for a group of doctors on how to prescribe birth control, Dr. Sophia Yen realized that one of the top reasons women don’t take their birth control is because they don’t have it on hand. When we offered free delivery of birth control, 2/3rds of the women who responded didn’t even have the necessary prescription to get the medication.

So, she and her co-founders set out to fix the problem by creating Pandia Health, the end-to-end solution offering online doctor’s visits, written prescriptions, and medications delivered by mail.

Pandia Health incubated at the prestigious: Stanford Startx, Springboard Enterprises, DWT’s Project W’s Women’s Entrepreneur’s Bootcamp, and Women’s Startup Lab.
