Today is World Perimenopause Day!

At BC Women’s Health Foundation, we’re committed to ensuring everyone has access to evidence-based information about their health, at every stage of life. That’s why we’re shining a light on menopause and perimenopause, through the voices of experts, researchers, care providers, and patients who know this space best.

In partnership with the Women’s Health Research Institute (WHRI), we’re Redefining Menopause—bringing science to the forefront. The groundbreaking HER-BC report made it clear: people want more information on menopause symptoms and how to manage them.

For information on treatment options and personalized care, speak with your healthcare provider.

Save this post. Share it with someone who needs to hear it.
Together, we can break the silence, close the research gap, and fund the care women need.

This past weekend, WHRI Executive Director, Dr. Lori Brotto, joined Jennifer Palma on Global News Morning to share more on what menopause and perimenopause are and how more menopause research is needed.

"Only 7% of national health research funding goes to women's health research... We need more funding that’s dedicated to understanding the health of women, so that this can drive innovations in care."

This is why BC Women's Health Foundation and our community of donors are dedicated to raising funds to help close this gap in research. To watch the segment and learn more about how you can support menopause care + midlife women's health, visit bcwomensfoundation.org/midlife-health/
