Nikki Jensen, formerly the vice president of Essentially Women, is now VGM & Associates’ vice president of wellness. “I want to assure you that Essentially Women as a community is remaining the same,” Jensen said in a November announcement. “Our new wellness channel will include women’s health and Essentially Women. However, it means I will be involved in exploring new opportunities in the wellness category and women’s health as a whole.”

Jensen said the structural changes were “a way to streamline operational efficiencies and look toward future opportunities.”

“VGM remains steadfast in supporting DMEPOS businesses, and that includes mastectomy boutiques and women’s health businesses,” Jensen added.
