Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women’s Health Act

ADVOCACY FOR US

The Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women’s Health Act, introduced in May 2024, would allocate $275 million over five years to close gaps in menopause research, healthcare provider training, and public awareness. This legislation establishes new research programs, supports public health initiatives, and creates grants for better care, especially in underserved communities. For the first time, the federal government is taking meaningful steps to address the needs of menopause, a life stage that affects 50% of the population, ensuring that women receive the support, care, and resources they deserve.

“
“Menopause is a significant part of every woman’s life – and despite how severe the symptoms can be, there’s been very little research on the subject. This legislation I’m leading alongside Senator Murray, with support from countless advocates in Alaska and around the country, is an important step towards closing the gap in research for women’s health. It is time for us to extend our research focus to be inclusive of women of all ages.”

“
While half of Americans will experience menopause in their lifetime, many women are forced to suffer in silence with sometimes debilitating symptoms and limited options for treatment. I’m proud to stand with my Democratic and Republican colleagues to introduce legislation that makes a long overdue investment in menopause research, helping us better understand and treat the symptoms of menopause for millions of Americans.
