Big news in menopause care!

The FDA has removed outdated "black-box" warning requirements from many hormone replacement therapies, opening the door to more women safely treating menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, bone loss, and more.

These changes are based on numerous studies that show significant benefit for women below age 60, in reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and bone fracture, in addition to improved quality of life through effective treatment of menopause symptoms.

If you've been unsure about HRT, now is a great time to talk with your provider.

Great news! We are introducing Elise AI, a new call-answering assistant designed to help you get the information and support you need, faster and more efficiently.

We’re currently in the testing phase, so some calls may still be routed to our call center. Once fully implemented, Elise AI will help manage routine inquiries and appointment requests, giving our call center team more time to focus on urgent or complex concerns. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to speak with a live staff member at any point.
