Advocate

Menopause care in North Carolina won't change until policy does. We make sure the people writing the laws hear from the people who know menopause best.

AdvocateEducateConveneResearch

Policy shapes care.

Let's shape policy together.

how we do it

What advocacy
looks like

Lawmakers are already weighing menopause legislation. Our job is to make sure North Carolina's voice is part of the conversation every time.

01

Track every bill

We follow menopause legislation in the North Carolina General Assembly and in Congress, so you always know what's moving and where it stands.

02

Bring experts to lawmakers

We connect lawmakers with North Carolina clinicians, researchers, employers, and women with lived experience when policy is being written.

03

Make it easy to act

When a bill needs support, we make it a one-minute ask, so every North Carolinian can contact their representatives without the guesswork.
