Proposed Menopause Centre of Excellence in Nova Scotia - Canada's first ...

Nova Scotians will soon receive specialized care through a new menopause clinic, the initial phase of what will be Canada’s first Menopause Centre of Excellence.

The new specialized clinic will be dedicated to managing symptoms related to perimenopause, menopause and post-menopause.

Centres of excellence are built on three pillars: clinical care, research and education. Research and education components will be added over time.

A request for proposals has been issued for clinic space, expected to open in winter 2026-2027. It is available at: https://procurement-portal.novascotia.ca/

The clinic will be staffed by a range of providers, including a general practitioner, registered nurse, pelvic floor physiotherapist, dietitian and gynecologist. They will deliver in-person and virtual care provincewide.

The Menopause Centre of Excellence is led by the Department of Health and Wellness in partnership with the Menopause Society of Nova Scotia, IWK Health and Nova Scotia Health.

REMINDER - Our next monthly meeting of FMH Auxiliary will be held on Thursday, February 26 2026 in the Founders' Room at the Hospital, convening at 10.00 am.

Guest speakers will be Megan Eisner and Brent Laybolt of Team Lavender at SSRH, emotionally supporting team members (including staff and volunteers) as may be required in a strictly confidential, coordinated and timely manner. Team Lavender does not provide therapeutic services; rather, offers support through finding appropriate therapy and employee support resources.

New Auxiliary members are always welcome. We hope to see you there!
