REDEFINING MENOPAUSE
Supporting the first Menopause + Midlife Health Program in Western Canada
1 in 3 women in BC are in menopause right now—yet too many feel unprepared, unheard, and unsupported.
Together we can make a difference.
Our vision for the future of menopause + midlife women’s health
Together with BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre (BCWH), the University of British Columbia (UBC) and the Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI), we envision a highly specialized care centre where midlife women are seen, heard and supported.
We will achieve this vision through Western Canada’s first triad for clinical care, research and education, significantly increasing resources, training and care for women:
- An integrated, multidisciplinary, referral-based provincial clinic to meet the urgent demand for complex midlife patient care
- Groundbreaking research focused on improving midlife care
- Expert consultation, educational resources and training opportunities for the province’s community of care
Monthly Webinars
BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre, in partnership with WHRI, BC Women’s Health Foundation and presented by Pacific Blue Cross have launched a monthly webinar series. More to come!
Redefining Menopause
In partnership with the WHRI, we’re helping redefine menopause by sharing evidence-based information straight from experts, researchers, care providers, and patients.
The Women’s Health Research Institute, in partnership with Pacific Blue Cross and the BC Women’s Health Foundation, investigated the physical and psychological health experiences of midlife women in BC. Focused on the transitions related to menopause, the HER-BC Study asked participants about symptoms, and impacts to daily living, quality of life, work productivity and caregiving responsibilities.
Together, we can champion life-changing care
With your investment, we can build the foundation necessary to achieve this vision today so that, together, we can end the wait.
