Menoposium & Menoclarity

Knowledge is power! Finally, conversations are happening about menopause. 75 million women are in perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause in the U.S., with 6,000 more reaching menopause each day. 75% of women who seek medical care are left untreated. 38% of those in late perimenopause experience symptoms of depression. 80% of OB-GYN residents admit to being ill-prepared to discuss menopause.
