Our Mandate

To provide midlife women across Saskatchewan access to credible, evidence-based information in a non-threatening atmosphere. Specific efforts will be made to assist those women who may be reluctant or find it difficult to seek answers through traditional means, i.e. women in rural/ remote communities, or women facing economic or literacy barriers.

Our Mission Statement

The Women's Mid-Life Health Centre of Saskatchewan, founded in early 2003, is a multi-disciplinary clinic providing a unique and comprehensive service to women in the climacteric and post-menopausal phase of life. The Clinic will enable women to make informed decisions by promoting healthy lifestyle choices to prevent disease; by identifying women at higher risk of disease through appropriate screening; and by providing diagnosis and optimal treatment. This clinic will enhance the continuing care provided by the family physician and specialists.

Our Goals

Education, information, assessment, diagnosis and treatment for women in this identifiable group
Community education and information
Information and learning opportunities for clinicians and students of various health related disciplines
Research opportunities
Collaboration with other health care giving agencies
Collaboration and information sharing with other menopause clinics nationally and internationally
