April 19, 2024- Cleveland Clinic has announced the launch of its new Women’s Comprehensive Health and Research Center, an initiative dedicated to helping women during midlife and beyond thrive and easily receive the specialized care they need. The center is focused on four key areas: access, connectivity, education, and research and innovation to empower women to navigate their health journey with confidence and clarity.
The population of women in midlife and in need of healthcare continues to grow. According to U.S. Census Bureau 2020 data, more than 63 million women in the U.S. are 50 years of age or older, and approximately 6,000 women enter menopause each day.
Through initiatives focused on streamlining appointment processes, enhancing outreach programs, and prioritizing health equity, the center seeks to ensure that all women can readily access the care they need at this critical stage of their lives. A dedicated team of patient navigators will serve as guides offering support, information, and advocacy.
