Your body changes — and your health needs do, too. No matter what chapter you’re in, Novant Health is here with expert care, real answers, and support you can count on.

Ready to take charge of your health? In honor of National Women’s Health Month, here’s what you need to know (and what you might be missing):

Struggling with menopause? You have options.

Many women are told to simply “deal with it,” but menopause symptoms are real — and manageable with the right care. Novant Health’s new virtual menopause clinic offers personalized treatment to address hot flashes, mood changes, sleep struggles, and more.

Virtual visits make it easy to connect with menopause-trained specialists who build custom care plans, including hormone therapy, non-hormonal treatments, and practical lifestyle changes.

Menopause myths are common, but the real facts can help women make informed choices and feel more confident in their care.

Heart attack symptoms women often miss

Unlike the classic “movie heart attack,” women often experience nausea, jaw or back pain, and fatigue — symptoms that are too often overlooked. Fast action saves lives, and recognizing these unique signs is critical to better outcomes.

Why bone health can’t wait

Osteoporosis isn’t just a concern later in life. New recommendations call for earlier bone density screenings and a focus on calcium, vitamin D, and strength training to build bone resilience now — not later.

New stroke guidelines offer more protection

Women face a higher lifetime risk of stroke compared to men, and new research highlights the importance of recognizing risk factors like migraines with aura, preeclampsia, and autoimmune disease. Early awareness can be lifesaving.

Pickleball: A fun way to boost longevity

Pickleball isn’t just a trend, it’s a heart-healthy, low-impact way for women to stay active and social. Experts recommend easing into the game slowly to avoid injury, but the benefits for cardiovascular health and longevity are undeniable.

Wherever life leads, Novant Health is committed to helping women feel stronger, live longer, and thrive at every stage.
