Consumer Information and Services
Central to the goal of achieving a healthy mind in a healthy body and healthy environment is the provision of information and supervisory preventive services tailored to the needs of the individual , based on validated science and clinical practice
This was accomplished by establishing the Women to Woman America (WWA) program, the publication of The Women’s Health Digest (WHD) and the training of nurses , nurse practitioners and nutritionists in the principles and practice of adult women’s health and preventive medicine.
Details of the WHD and it’s related offerings are summarize in the attached resource link: each issue covered a specific health care issue with articles written in lay language by experts in the field in addition to a broad range of every day advice regarding fitness; financial management tips; art; music; travel etc. Also included was a “hot line ” (1-800-menoask) containing 300 files of recorded information covering various aspects of climacteric health. All information was supervised by a multi disciplinary US and International Medical Advisory Board.
Adult Women’s Health Generalist (AWHG) : based on the experience in providing optimal and individualized care to patients nurses were trained as part of a multi disciplinary team under “their” care to serve as AWHG’s This approach prompted Notelovitz to formally introduce this approach to the International Menopause Society (2005) . The concept was later expanded to specifically train Brain Health Navigators via a formal CME program similar to the essential role of certified Diabetes Nurse Practitioner in the management of diabetic patients.
