COMING Soon!

Perimenopause & Menopausal Health is new in 2024/2025. Starting in November 2024 we will be offering nurse-led visits for women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Our program team will provide individualized assessment and connect you with current information on symptom management and disease prevention, We will consult with health care providers to access treatments or referrals if needed.

Bookings for this program are not yet open.

THFHT also has patient resource pages with information on reproductive health and healthy living on this website . These pages can be viewed by anyone, not just THFHT patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be referred to this program by my provider (doctor or NP)?

No. THFHT patients can call the clinic themselves and book an appointment.

If I prefer to see my doctor or nurse practitioner, can I still do that?

You can still book appointments with your doctor or nurse practitioner provider. Some doctors or NPs may encourage you to book with the nurse-led programs as their care is expert and excellent. Accessing nursing care is the best use of our team of professionals.

Are there other programs where older adults and men can access care?

Yes. We have a Screening & Prevention program where men and women aged 50 to 75 years can book with an RN. We have other programs, such as Heart and Lung Health and Older Adult Primary Care, where THFHT patients can book appointments with an RN. You can read all about these programs on this website in the program section.

What should I do until Perimenopause/Menopause Care appointments open up?

You can book with existing programs (Pap, Well-woman, Screening) or see your health care provider (doctor or nurse practitioner).

What is a THFHT patient?

I don’t have a primary care provider/am not a THFHT patient/am on a waitlist to join THFHT. Can I still book with the THFHT Women's & Children's Health Program?
