More hot flashes and night sweats (lasting up to 7-10 years)\, worse sleep\, more clinical depression\, increased hypertension—all with a greater impact on their lives. \nUnfortunately\, your doctor may not know these facts either.

Wearing their hats as doctors\, menopause educators/advocates and women seeking answers themselves\, they will discuss their journeys to receiving the menopause care they needed\, and how they are paying it forward to other Black women in midlife and beyond. \nTo register for this virtual event please go to this link.
