Are you passionate about women’s health and looking for concrete ways to guarantee that recent menopause momentum becomes a movement, not a moment?  Have you ever wondered how you, as an individual, can play a part in that change? Attorney, advocate, and author Jennifer Weiss-Wolf will walk us through the key areas of opportunities for bipartisan progress on menopause reforms, from funding for women’s health research, public education and training for healthcare providers, improved access to menopause hormone therapy (MHT) and other treatments, and a reimagining of the role of the private sector and CEOs. We’ll also share a step-by-step playbook for how to collectively use our voices to advocate for change. Because, as Weiss-Wolf says, “We owe it to ourselves and to generations to come not to back down from that demand.”
