Attention Women Veterans!

📅 Thu Sep 4th
⌚ 6pm – 7pm
📍 From the comfort of your phone!

Have questions about your health? We’re hosting a live Women’s Clinic Telephone Townhall, and you’re encouraged to ask whatever’s on your mind. This is a safe, supportive space to get real answers from women’s health experts.

This special event will spotlight Perimenopause & Menopause - including symptoms, treatment options, and how to navigate this important stage of life. Whether you’re looking to learn more, you’re just starting this phase, or navigating it now - this conversation is for you.

If you’re a Woman Veteran who has received care at an Ann Arbor VA Healthcare site within the last 2 years, you won’t need to dial in. You’ll receive a call shortly before the event begins – just stay on the line to participate. You’ll also get a reminder call the day before around 2pm. If you missed the call, don’t worry – you’ll receive a voicemail with details on how to join, including the call back number.

This is your time to ask questions, feel heard, and connect. We look forward to sharing helpful, honest information and answering your questions in real time.
