Perimenopause & Policy: What’s Changing and What’s Next
Featuring Claire Gill, CEO of the National Menopause Foundation, and Dr. Jayne Morgan, Cardiologist & Women’s Health Leader
Following this month’s Congressional Briefing on World Perimenopause Day, join us for an essential conversation on the growing momentum around perimenopause and policy. September’s Perimenopause Awareness Month has been a landmark in raising visibility—from Capitol Hill to state legislatures—and now we’re asking: what comes next?
Claire Gill and Dr. Jayne Morgan will reflect on the recent policy briefings and explore urgent questions shaping the future of women’s midlife health:
Why women’s health research still receives less than 10% of NIH funding—and the critical knowledge gaps this creates.
What we still don’t know about heart disease in women, and why more targeted research is urgently needed.
How state-level legislation and national resolutions are paving the way for change.
Practical ways health experts and women themselves can get involved in advocacy, from grassroots campaigns to national policy initiatives.
This conversation goes beyond statistics—it’s about power, policy, and the lived realities of women in midlife. Whether you’re a health professional, advocate, or someone navigating perimenopause yourself, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of where change is happening and how you can be part of it.
