About this Event
It's time to change the conversation about menopause and perimenopause care in Alberta. J5 Design, in collaboration with Primary Care Alberta, invites you to the Health Empowerment Resilience (HER) Menopause Strategy Summit on November 5, 2026.
Join us for an inspiring morning bringing together patient voices, healthcare professionals, and system leaders to share powerful insights, spark meaningful conversations, and contribute to a new strategy for advancing (peri)menopause care in Alberta.
The summit will feature an engaging keynote presentation and a speaker panel with audience Q&A. Following the program, step into our immersive HER Strategy Gallery, where research, lived experiences, and bold ideas for change come to life. Contribute to the future of (peri)menopause care, share your perspectives, and be part of shaping what comes next.
For too long, (peri)menopause has been overlooked, misunderstood, and underrepresented in healthcare. It's time to bring women's experiences to the forefront and reimagine what better care can look like.
