Delta Dental of California and Midi Health Expand Partnership to Advance Women's Oral and Whole-Body Health

Collaboration aims to close care gaps around menopause and hormonal health through enhanced benefits, virtual care and public education SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, June 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Delta Dental of California and Affiliates (Delta Dental) and Midi Health, a leading telehealth platform specializing in perimenopause and menopause, expanded their partnership focused on improving access to integrated, women-centered care during key life stages: menopause and pregnancy.
