What. A. Year! There’s been reports, conferences, panels, virtual educational events, policy initiatives, and dinners to discuss how we can affect meaningful change for the over 50 million US women currently in the menopause transition.

While there’s still more to be done, BIG strides were made this year and the Elektra team is grateful and proud to have played a part in it.

Here’s to continuing this important work in 2024, because women deserve better.

The Elektra team is feeling grateful and inspired after co-hosting an intimate event on women's health with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand alongside Evvy and Human Ventures. 

Our Co-Founder & CEO Alessandra Henderson said it best... "Never underestimate the power that one voice, one person can have on the future of equal representation, and by extension women's health. If you're looking to get active in women's health, consider this your nudge!"

It was such a pleasure working with Accorded to analyze the cost impact of the menopause care gap.

Brava to First Lady Dr. Jill Biden for speaking up and out, for using her voice to shape a future with broader provider education for better health outcomes. 

The future of women's health is bright 💜

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again (and again, and again)…nurses are HEROES.

And while we never need an excuse to celebrate our incredible Nurse Practitioners at Elektra Health who work every day to provide members with the menopause care and support they deserve, we’ll take National Nurse Practitioner Week as an opportunity to show them some extra love. 

💜 Jacqueline Giannelli RN, MSN, FNP-BC, NCMP | Founding Nurse Practitioner
Jackie is a board-certified family nurse practitioner specializing in women’s health with a special focus in menopause, urogynecology, and women's sexual health. She is certified by The Menopause Society (formerly the North American Menopause Society, or NAMS).

💜 Beth Braun, RN, BSN, WHNP-BC | Elektra Guide
Beth has over 30 years of experience working in women’s health, including gynecology, prenatal care, and midlife services. She’s taught teen sex education in schools and worked as a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, birth doula, and practitioner in an LGBTQ clinic in the 90s.

Closing out October (World Menopause Month!) with another virtual educational event, this time for Babson College employees. During the one-hour session, "Health, Hormones & Work," Elektra’s Founding Nurse Practitioner Jacqueline Giannelli RN, MSN, FNP-BC, NCMP covered:

- Menopause 101 (that no one ever gave us!)
- The research of how it affects women in the workplace
- What we can do about it
- Q&A

“I found the session to be extremely informative and valuable. It was great to have a safe space to ask questions and have an open discussion with a clinical expert in the field of menopause.” — Babson employee

A BIG thank you to Jessie Bernstein, NP-C and Dr. Tina O. for championing the effort to bring much-needed menopause support and awareness to the workplace.

Kudos to Bluebeam, Inc. for taking action to support employees affected by menopause. In honor of World Menopause Day, they recently partnered with Elektra Health to offer a Health, Hormones, & Work virtual event. Hosted by our Founding Nurse Practitioner, Jacqueline Giannelli RN, MSN, FNP-BC, NCMP, the one-hour session helped break down stigmas around menopause and provided useful information and tools.
 
One of their employees had this to say: 

“I felt so safe and secure learning more about what has been known as a 'taboo' topic, as well as a sense of belonging in this session with other women who have questions and concerns just like me. This was a game changer.”
 
With 20% of women having left or considered leaving a job because of menopause symptoms, it’s inspiring to see forward-leaning companies like Bluebeam stepping up to prioritize the health and well-being of their employees and normalize this stage of life. 
 
Here’s to more organizations joining the movement! Because women deserve better.
