Post-reproductive women's health is getting more attention - in headlines, in everyday conversation and in the medical community. Still, for many women, especially in the years leading up to menopause, evidence and support remain out of reach.
A new primary care clinic set to open in Edmonton later this year aims to address that gap. Led by Faculty of Nursing professor Colleen Norris, specialized virtual care will focus on a period Norris calls "the most stressful time of a woman's life."
The project includes nearly $1 million from Alberta's new Primary Care Innovation Fund to pilot the clinic and lead research focused on post-reproductive women aged 35 and older.
