Meet the Providers
Women-Owned. Women-Led. Women Centered.
Rise was built by women who know this terrain firsthand - the symptoms, the silence, the search for better answers. Everything we make, teach, and offer is rooted in lived experience and clinical insight. We believe you - and are here to help.

Tara Rothwell
PA-C, MS, MPAS, MSCP
Co-Owner / Clinical Provider
Tara Rothwell is a certified Physician Associate with 29 years of experience spanning Family Practice, Emergency Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Hospital Medicine. A proud graduate of the University of Iowa Physician Assistant Program (1997), she was originally trained to care for midlife women—including the thoughtful prescribing of hormone therapy.
Like most clinicians, Tara paused HRT prescribing after early misinterpretations of the WHI study were widely publicized in 2001. Years later, during her own perimenopause-to-menopause transition, she revisited the research with intention and depth. What she discovered was striking: the avoidance of HRT had been driven by dogma, not science. The evidence clearly demonstrated meaningful benefits for women’s long‑term health, symptom relief, and overall quality of life.
This realization reshaped her clinical path and led her to join a Boise practice as a Women’s Hormone Health Specialist. Today, she’s excited to return to partnering with women as they navigate perimenopause, menopause, and midlife health with clarity and confidence.
Tara has recently expanded her expertise by becoming a Certified Menopause Society Specialist, completing advanced training through the Heather Hirsch, MD Academy, and pursuing additional education in osteoporosis treatment and the use of GLP‑1 therapies for weight management. She also holds a master’s degree in Exercise Science and is a certified nutrition and weightlifting coach.
Her care is thoughtful, patient‑centered, and grounded in education, collaboration, and personalized guidance. Tara’s approach emphasizes clarity, partnership, and practical next steps tailored to each woman’s needs. She is committed to helping women feel informed, respected, and empowered as they move through this stage of life.
She looks forward to partnering with you as you thrive and RISE
Our Mission

Why Rise?
The name Rise reflects upward movement, energy, transformation, and renewal. A rising tide lifts all ships - and we are here to help Rise the tide in Women’s Midlife Healthcare in Western Montana.
What is a Collaborative?
At Rise, collaborative care means we work with you—combining clinical expertise, thoughtful listening, and education so you understand your options and can make informed decisions.
We often refer to other specialists in support of your health goals. As a menopause‑focused clinic, we don’t provide gynecological or primary care services, so we ask that patients continue annual visits with their preferred providers. If you don’t have a PCP or gynecologist, we are happy to help you find one.
