NEW! Red Hot Mamas® Menopause Education Program
The Women's Heart Center at Rush-Copley Heart Institute is proud to offer Red Hot Mamas® a nationally recognized menopause management education and psychosocial support program. The goal of Red Hot Mamas® is to empower women to be educated consumers in their healthcare and active participants in the management of their menopause, preparing them for a comfortable menopause and healthy postmenopausal transition.
As part of Red Hot Mamas®, women and their families attend regular educational seminars that feature medical experts who address topics such as menopause medical issues, quality of life issues and treatment options. Click here for a list of upcoming programs.
Karen Giblin (pictured above, 6th from right) started PRIME PLUS/Red Hot Mamas® in 1991, when an emergency hysterectomy caused the onset of early menopause. Giblin's young daughter inadvertently named the group when she saw her Mom having hot flashes.
Over 4,000 American women a day enter menopause. Many women lack the necessary information they need to confront the physiological and emotional changes that may occur at menopause.
