    About the Topic

    A COUPLE OF FACTS ABOUT MENOPAUSE:
    -Research shows that women may be dealing with menopause well into their advanced age.
    -There are 34 –yes, 34!– symptoms of menopause.
    -What tools do you have to discuss menopause with the women in your life? How about with your significant other?
    -How do you manage short and long term menopause symptoms

    Because menopause is more than hot flashes and night sweats.

    Come enjoy a wonderful three-course meal outdoors on the Morgan Run terrace. Bring a friend and spend time with fellow women’s health research advocates, and learn about a crucial topic that WILL affect women and the quality of their life.
