Women comprise more than half the U.S. population and 100% will experience menopause in their lifetime. Yet, midlife women’s healthcare has gone largely unrecognized and menopause care and research has not been given the attention or funding it requires and deserves.
In 2025, women across the country demanded more coverage, more access to information and resources, and greater awareness — and legislators listened! State Representatives have been working tirelessly to advance and pass legislation in support of important menopause mandates. To date, 24 states have introduced over 50 bills to improve menopause care, coverage and treatment - and 9 of those bills are now law! That 1-in-4 states have proposed menopause laws shows that citizen advocacy works — that’s progress!
