🌸 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬.

For years, many women have had to pay out-of-pocket for menopausal hormone therapy.

As of March 1, 2026, many menopausal hormone therapies are now fully covered under BC’s Pharmacare plan — reducing financial barriers and improving access to care.

Perimenopause and menopause are not niche issues. They affect half the population.

Today we celebrate women — and meaningful steps toward better support for their health at every stage of life.

At our clinic, we support patients through perimenopause and menopause and help them explore treatment options that are right for them.

If you have questions about perimenopause, menopause, or whether hormone therapy is right for you, we’re here to help.

This change came into effect March 1, 2026.

🪶 Honouring truth and equity.
Indigenous peoples in Canada experience worse health outcomes due to the lasting impacts of colonization, racism, and intergenerational trauma.

🤝 Connection is care.

When people are excluded, their physical and mental health decline.
When they’re welcomed, supported, and included, recovery is possible.

Let’s build community together.

🚑 Health access saves lives.

People without stable housing often can’t access regular medical care. Many rely on emergency rooms — or go without.

Through the UGM Outreach Clinic, I bring care to where it’s needed most.

Low income makes it harder to afford rent, healthy food, or time for recovery. Income is one of the strongest Social Determinants of Health.⁣
