Menoglobal and the Milken Institute

Menoglobal has been accepted as a founding member of the Milken Institute’s Women’s Health Network. At last month’s inaugural meeting, chaired by Jill Biden, one question kept resonating: “How do we change perceptions of women’s health?”

For too long, women’s health has been narrowly defined as reproductive health. At Menoglobal, we’re addressing this by reframing what menopause means:
✓ Symptoms matter and deserve care
✓ Menopause signals a critical inflection point—a window for prevention

Women spend 20% more time in poorer health than men. Menopause is our starting point to change that trajectory and improve healthspan.

Everything we do at Menoglobal, we do with partners. Shane Jacobson from American Cancer Society captured why: we need to “out-collaborate the challenges.” Kelly Watson and the team at Tidepool are partnering with ŌURA to build landmark datasets that finally include menstrual cycle data in diabetes research—this is what collaboration looks like in practice.

The network IS the work—and the commitment in the room—leaders, founders, funders, and policymakers united in making women’s health a global priority—left me optimistic and energized.

If you believe menopause and midlife women’s health deserve global attention and recognize this requires global collaboration—wherever you’re working—let’s connect.
