What You Need To Know
With menopause care taking center stage in national conversations and major public forums, a staggering reality is being brought to light: The years after 40 bring a host of new health considerations, yet 70% of women experiencing menopause symptoms are not receiving related care.
Every aspect of a woman’s health is connected, a fact that only emerges with more clarity as she ages. Yet, the traditional healthcare system wasn't built to treat the whole woman.
To address this, Hackensack Meridian Health has developed the Midlife Women’s Health and Longevity Program. This new comprehensive program features highly trained physicians and a multidisciplinary team that focus on all aspects of the transitions in a woman's health journey. Located at the Hackensack Meridian Health and Wellness Center at Paramus, 650 From Road (part of Hackensack University Medical Center), the Center is situated just off major thoroughfares like the Garden At Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH), providers are making midlife wellness a public health priority by establishing a new standard of care. To eliminate the confusion and isolation so many women feel while flipping the outdated paradigm on its head with a care model that puts the coordination burden exactly where it belongs: on healthcare providers, not on patients.
The cornerstone of this program is a multidisciplinary team ensuring collaborative care in everything from hormonal and sexual health to preventative screenings, primary care, cardiovascular health, bone and metabolic health, pelvic floor health, mental health, integrative medicine, weight management and nutrition. The goal of this proactive, personalized approach isn't just to manage symptoms, but to extend a woman’s healthspan—her years of healthy, vibrant living.
HMH has collaborated with MJH Life Sciences and Contemporary OB/GYN to launch a new podcast: The Mind, Body & the Pause: The Perimenopause and Beyond Series. Hosted by Dr. Soma Mandal board-certified internist and women's health specialist at HMH Jersey Shore University Medical Center, the newly launched series features multidisciplinary HMH experts discussing all facets of menopause to provide invaluable, in-depth information on related health issues to providers and listeners alike. You can listen to the introductory episode here with new episodes airing every two weeks.
