WHY MICHELLE FOUNDED EMPOWHER

I had a complete hysterectomy at the age of 42 and afterwards I was transformed from a highly active woman to being unable to function. I saw about a dozen different doctors and took nine different medications before I finally got the help I needed. I saw how there is a HUGE lack of information and resources on women’s health. This led me to create www.EmpowHer.com, a new health web site for women. Ultimately, my long-term goal is to reach out to every single woman around the globe and give them a voice. It’s one woman at a time. Women are going to change our health care and I want to help lead that change.
