Its goals are: 1) To convene an interdisciplinary work group; with members from the Medical Sciences Campus and the community in general interested in menopausal women; 2) To become a center of information on perimenopause and climateric and to offer information about topics relevant to health promotion and maintenance during perimenopause and the third age. The Center participates in clinical research, offers educational activities for health professionals and for the general public, sponsors public announcements through different media and offers consultations and information through a dedicated telephone line. The Center has organized support groups for interested women in the community. The W&HC works in close collaboration with this Center.
