Women's Health Connecticut

What Women's Health Connecticut does

Women's Health Connecticut (WHCT) is a regional network of women's healthcare practices founded in 1998 and headquartered in Avon, Connecticut, operating as a subsidiary of Unified Women's Healthcare. The network spans approximately 90 locations across Connecticut and Massachusetts, with roughly 320 providers (ObGyns, Certified Nurse Midwives, PAs, APRNs, and IBCLCs) serving approximately 330,000 patients annually. WHCT delivers the full continuum of women's health services — obstetrics, gynecology, midwifery, menopause care, LGBTQIA+ care, lactation support, and in-office procedures including robotic surgery — supplemented by virtual care/telehealth visits for anxiety, menstrual, menopause, and general consultation needs.

The company's core technology stack is built on the athenahealth patient portal and consumer scheduling platform for appointment management, records access, and provider communication, augmented by proprietary patient-facing assets including the NURTURE pregnancy mobile app (launched 2025) and the gestational diabetes management program. WHCT extends its clinical reach via strategic partnerships such as the Nest Collaborative alliance for IBCLC lactation consulting. Its payer mix spans major commercial health plans, managed care plans, and Medicaid; revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis across in-person and virtual visits, distributed through direct-to-consumer channels (online appointment requests, physician and patient referrals) rather than third-party intermediaries.
