Flourishing in Perimenopause and Menopause

With Special Guests from Midi Health

Please join us for an informative virtual conversation featuring Joanna Strober, Founder and CEO of Midi Health, and Dr. Kathleen Jordan, Chief Medical Officer of Midi Health. Midi is on a mission to bring compassionate high-quality medical care to women 40+.

The much talked about New York Times article from February 1, 2023 noted that a vast menopausal-focused industry has developed in recent years. “Education on a stage of life that affects half the world’s population is still wildly overlooked at medical schools. A 2017 survey sent to residents across the country found that 20 percent of them had not heard a single lecture on menopause.” Companies such as Midi Health are getting the word out that there are alternatives to traditional care models.

In this virtual session, Joanna and Kathleen will:

Share the Founder’s Vision and the catalyst for founding Midi; and

Discuss efforts on behalf of women to bring solutions to help women thrive through menopause.

The discussion will be moderated by IWF NorCal member Nicole Soluri and there will also be a Q&A session.
