The Menopause Museum Tour:

In collaboration with Kelly McIntosh, General Manager of the Stratford Perth Museum, six menopause education events in Stratford sold out in 2024. Based on attendant requests, they are taking this education on the road to other Museums to speak on:

  • The History of Women’s Healthcare and Why it Matters Today

  • The Women’s Health Initiative and its enduring impact on Women’s Health

  • Understanding the Menopause Transition

  • Thriving in and beyond Menopause

  • Non-hormonal, Hormonal, and Lifestyle Considerations in Midlife and Beyond

  • Advocating for ourselves, each other, and future generations

“Between opening the Menopause Clinic and the Museum Seminars, Judy has changed women’s health care in Huron-Perth. The history really helped me understand why women’s health is where it is today and how we can influence health care policy and advocacy going forward. She started an entire movement.”
