Company mission
To make healthcare more accessible by building digital primary care that closes gender, socioeconomic, and racial gaps in our current health system.

Our take
Telemedicine health service The Pill Club provides women across the United States access to FDA-approved contraceptives and other skincare and healthcare services through home delivery. It has expanded rapidly since being founded in 2014 and now serves 50 states across the US.
The Pill Club is careful to embed its services within existing insurance frameworks, like Medicaid and Family PACT. The idea is to broaden its market share, whilst democratizing primary care access for those who struggle with existing healthcare systems as a result of gender, racial, or socioeconomic inequalities. The Pill Club has an edge in this respect over cash-based telemedicine companies such as Ro, or Hims and Hers.
Previously known as Favor, The Pill Club has recently rebranded to better reflect its new services. Whilst the company previously only offered D2C contraceptives, it responded to customer interest to now offer a wider range of healthcare services, like dermatology. It is in a position to take advantage of the growing women’s health market and may only see interest increase with access to birth control remaining a hot-button topic in more conservative areas nationwide.
