Healthcare Designed Around You
Helping You Thrive Through Every Stage of Life.

Why LilyPad Health Exists
Because healthcare should feel personal again.
LilyPad Health is a modern, virtual‑first healthcare practice created because healthcare should feel personal again. We serve patients with a focus on relationships, prevention, and long‑term health—not quick, transactional visits.
We bring together primary care, preventive medicine, women’s and men's health, metabolic health, weight management, menopause support, healthy aging, sleep optimization, and emotional wellness into one connected experience.
Our mission is to help you feel heard, understood, supported, and empowered through every stage of adulthood. LilyPad Health was founded by Shannon Gigounas, DNP, RN, FNP‑C, a Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 30 years of healthcare experience. Throughout her career, Shannon has believed that healthcare is fundamentally about people—and LilyPad Health is built around that belief.
