Menopause brings far more than hot flashes. Employees managing pelvic pain, joint issues, brain fog, sleep disruption, bladder leaks, and mood swings often end up navigating a fragmented maze of specialists on their own, while employers and health plans absorb the cost of that gap. Join Bloom by Sword Health for a 45-minute session on building a menopause benefit that holds up in practice. We'll unpack what it costs organizations to leave menopause care out of the benefits picture, and where hormone therapy helps and where it falls short. You'll also hear how a strong, member-first experience changes the outcome for women.
