Welcome to The Marigold Clinic
The Marigold Clinic is a specialty telemedicine clinic for younger women affected by breast cancer. A clinic by a young survivor for other survivors.
Founded by Dr. Caroline Cook, the clinic focuses on menopause management, lifestyle medicine, sexual health, recurrence risk reduction, and the long-term health effects of breast cancer treatment and early menopause.
Through evidence-based care and personalized guidance, our goal is to help you improve your quality of life now while protecting your long-term health.
Who we are
Dr. Caroline Cook, DO, is a triple-positive breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at age 37. Her personal experience with a breast cancer diagnosis, navigating active treatment, and abrupt premature menopause shaped the vision for The Marigold Clinic.
She is a Menopause Society certified practitioner, board certified in lifestyle medicine, and a practicing board-certified emergency physician. Through both her medical training and personal experience, she recognized that many young women with breast cancer are left navigating menopause symptoms, long-term health risks, and lifestyle changes without adequate guidance or support.
Her passion is helping women bridge that gap. She strongly believes that lifestyle medicine and traditional medical therapies work best together — and that when both are used thoughtfully, women can feel dramatically better and improve their long-term health and quality of life.
Most simply, her goal is to help women live well after breast cancer.
Outside of medicine, she enjoys cooking, reading, hiking, biking, skiing, yoga, traveling, coffee, time with friends and her husband, and sleep. She also helps lead a young adult breast cancer social group in her local community.
