“Life Begins at 50! It’s Not Your Mother’s Menopause!”

The Drexel University College of Medicine Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology and HR sponsor the Women’s Health Lecture Series.  The next presentation, “Life Begins at 50! It’s Not Your Mother’s Menopause!,” will be held today, November 6, 2009, from noon to 1 p.m. at the University Club, sixth floor, MacAlister Hall (33rd and Chestnut Streets). Dr. Owen Montgomery is the speaker.

Women are living longer and healthier lives than their mothers. This lecture will educate and update women on the most recently published articles about menopause and new hormonal therapies and answer the most pressing questions that women have about menopause and what they can now expect from the “new menopause.”
