The Menopause + Midlife Health Program at BC Women’s Hospital + Health Centre will provide much-needed clinical care for women and gender-diverse people experiencing severe or disruptive symptoms—care that until now has been difficult to access.

“We are proud to make this investment in the future of women’s health,” said Sarah Hoffman, President and CEO of Pacific Blue Cross. “Nearly every woman will experience menopause in her lifetime, yet too many face it without adequate access to resources, care, or support. By funding education, research, and clinical innovation, Pacific Blue Cross is helping ensure that women, families, and workplaces across BC are better equipped to navigate this important stage of life.”

This transformational investment builds on the landmark HER-BC Report (2024), — produced in collaboration with the Women’s Health Research Institute and Pacific Blue Cross — which revealed significant health and information gaps faced by women in midlife across the province. Further support from Pacific Blue Cross, will provide the opportunity to expand on this foundational data set whilst translating those findings into trusted health information accessible to all British Columbians, delivered through an expert-led webinar series featuring insights and advice from leading clinicians, researchers and care providers.

 “Pacific Blue Cross’s generous gift is helping us close critical gaps in care for women in midlife,” said Cally Wesson, President + CEO of BC Women’s Health Foundation. “Their leadership demonstrates the power of philanthropy to change lives and create healthier futures for women in BC.”

The next webinar presented by Pacific Blue Cross will take place on November 25^th with Dr. Tara Sedlak: Impact of Midlife on Heart Health.
