More menopause education for Mainers

The law requires Maine’s health department and the Maine CDC to work with doctors, clinics, and hospitals. They create and share electronic and printed materials about perimenopause and menopause. The materials explain symptoms, treatments, the biology, when to contact a provider, and how to talk with family and friends. They are for menstruating persons and all Mainers. The Maine CDC receives $20,000 in FY2025-26 and $20,000 in FY2026-27 to produce and distribute them.
