https://tinyurl.com/talkmeno3

Please join us for a presentation followed by Q and A with our special guest Dr. Sandra Rice, a board-certified internal medicine specialist and author of the book, The Estrogen Question: Know Before You Say “No” to HRT.

Most of Dr. Rice’s 42-year career was spent caring for mid-life women, and her long tenure in practice gave her firsthand experience following women from their reproductive years well into their postmenopausal years. As an internist specializing in chronic disease management, she has been particularly concerned about how the menopause transition affects women’s health across their lifespans.

She is a member of the Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society) and the International Menopause Society. She has been active in her community raising menopause awareness.

This event is sponsored by the Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP) and the Women’s Center.

Feel free to eat lunch during the discussion.
