Novella Women's Health

Novella Women’s Health was created from a shared belief that women deserve something better from their healthcare experience.

For years, both Dr. Jessica Hott and Ali Wisenall worked within large healthcare systems, caring deeply about the patients they served while also seeing firsthand the ways the system often fell short. Too often, women felt rushed through appointments, unheard in their concerns, or left navigating complex health issues without clear answers. Both believed that women’s healthcare could—and should—be more thoughtful, more personalized, and more responsive to the real needs of patients.

Dr. Hott, a board-certified gynecologic surgeon, spent years advocating for women navigating complex conditions such as endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain. Ali, a nurse practitioner and healthcare executive, spent her career working to improve patient access, operational systems, and care delivery across multiple surgical specialties. From different vantage points within healthcare, they both saw the same opportunity: to build something better.

Their partnership brought together two complementary perspectives—clinical expertise and healthcare leadership—united by a shared commitment to doing things differently. Together, they envisioned a practice where women would not have to navigate fragmented care, long delays for answers, or a system that feels impersonal. Novella was intentionally designed to bring thoughtful coordination, modern technology, and efficient access to care together in one place, allowing providers to focus on what matters most: listening to patients and delivering exceptional care.

The name Novella reflects that vision.

A novella is a story—one that is deeply human, personal, and meaningful. In many ways, women’s health journeys are stories as well. Every patient who walks through the doors of Novella brings her own experiences, questions, challenges, and hopes for the future.

At Novella Women’s Health, the goal is simple: to honor those stories and provide care that supports women through every chapter of their lives.

Building Novella has been both a professional mission and a personal one for its founders. It represents their belief that healthcare can be delivered with both excellence and empathy—and that when women are truly listened to, better care naturally follows.

This is the beginning of a new chapter in women’s healthcare, and Novella was created to help write that story.
