CIED Spotlight of the Month ✨

This month, CIED is proud to spotlight Curate Medical, a virtual-first healthcare company changing the way women across Florida experience menopause and midlife care.

Founded by Dr. Lisa Chacko, Curate Medical was created to help close a gap many women know too well — feeling dismissed, overwhelmed, or left to navigate menopause and overall health care on their own.

Curate Medical specializes in menopause-informed primary care, combining expert clinical care, care coordination, and ongoing support through both membership-based and appointment-based services.

Their work is helping women feel seen, heard, and supported through one of the most important transitions of life.

We are excited to celebrate Curate Medical as a CIED company making a meaningful impact in women’s health, virtual care, and healthcare innovation.
