Fertility and Family Building Benefits
Addressing the Menopause Care Vacuum
Did you know that 75% of women aged 40-65 are not currently treating their menopause symptoms? Despite being a ubiquitous phase of life and stage of hormonal transition that has wide-reaching influence on health and quality of life – relief has been largely out of reach.  
 
Why? Because there’s a massive vacuum in menopause care. Quality information on evidence-based menopause treatments and therapies is hard to find. Most physicians are not trained to consider the menopause factor in care, and those with expertise are scarce. Combine this with a long history of stigma and you have a care experience that’s frustrating, ineffective, and disappointing, leaving women feeling unseen and unheard during a critical decade or more in their lives – and their careers.  
Learn more about menopause care gaps and how employers can be part of the solution with insights from Progyny Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Janet Choi. Read the blog.
