Webinar: Thriving Over Forty & Beyond

UVA Advancement's Office of Engagement recently hosted a webinar featuring the work of UVA’s Midlife Health Center—one of the only multidisciplinary centers in the country to specialize in caring for women over 40. Hundreds of UVA alumni, friends, and families attended this online program on Tuesday, November 1, to learn about the Center and how UVA’s world-class physicians, nurses, and researchers are leading the field of women's midlife health and offering a dedicated, holistic approach to the physical and emotional needs of women during this key stage of life.

The webinar featured opening remarks from Wendy Horton, CEO of UVA Health Medical Center, followed by a panel discussion with Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, a nationally recognized expert in women's midlife health and division director of UVA's Midlife Health Center, and Dr. Paola Gehrig, chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and renowned specialist in gynecologic oncology. Renee Grisham, a long-time supporter of UVA’s Midlife Health Center, moderated the conversation and an audience Q&A. During the event, Dr. Pinkerton and Dr. Gehrig offered helpful and hopeful guidance on perimenopause, menopause, hot flashes, hormone therapy, midlife sexuality, gynecologic wellness, osteoporosis, and cancer prevention and treatment.
