America is making progress on women’s health | Jennifer Weiss-Wolf
Weiss-Wolf says recent state reforms, federal action and better clinical access show momentum for menopause care and other women’s health needs.
On September 16, the Senate held its first hearing on Menopause, signaling a shift in political priority for women's health after decades of neglect.
Federal health agencies have faced criticism for politicization, while medical experts highlight gaps in federally funded Menopause research and outdated clinical guidelines.
The executive director of NYU Law's Birnbaum Women's Leadership Center testified that steps for Menopause health are overdue, emphasizing urgent need for policy reform.
Health and Human Services convened pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical experts to troubleshoot care access, aiming to bring Menopause resources to the public and improve provider training.
Advocacy efforts now focus on fighting for accurate labeling of treatments and updated guidelines to ensure women nationwide receive reliable care for Menopause symptoms.
