We're very excited about the new Menopause Guidebook produced by the North American Menopause Society:

• it's comprehensive in describing peri-menopause symptoms, even those women don't usually recognize as being related (ie. acne, hair loss).
  
  
• there's a great section on identifying women at risk of disease such as breast cancer and osteoporosis with constructive advice on how to reduce the risks.
  
  
• it reviews current therapies, herbal and pharmaceutical, examining the evidence of their usefulness and safety as well as side effects.

Also newly released is an Early Menopause Guidebook directed to those experiencing menopause before the age of 45.

These guidebooks are available through us, the Women's Mid-Life Health Centre of Saskatchewan at a cost of $20 each. Use our Guidebook Order Form or call 978-3888 to order.

• We're pleased to announce that Dani vanDriel has joined the organization as Executive Director. Expect to hear a friendly voice when you call the office any weekday morning. She's here to help you with any inquiry about the Centre. Should you phone and leave a voice message, Dani will call you back on the next business day.
  
  
• As well, our name has officially changed! We are now the Women's Mid-Life Health Centre of Saskatchewan Inc. Watch for changes to the web site and our newsletter, Hot Flashes, under this new name.
