REDEFINING CHANGE

Midlife + Mature Women’s Health

WOMEN IN MIDLIFE AND BEYOND ARE SPEAKING UP WHEN IT COMES TO THEIR HEALTH – AND THE HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS RESPONDING WITH INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS, NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS AND MORE.

As women transition beyond their reproductive years, they seek to empower themselves with the best and most current healthcare and information. New medical innovations will offer life-altering solutions to chronic menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes, night sweats, palpitations, “brain fog”, low mood, difficulty sleeping, migraines, aches and pains, midlife and mature women seek more, and the healthcare system recognizes that it’s time for monumental change.
