Weston and O'Born Centre for Mature Women's Health

It’s time to prioritize women’s health

Women deserve to thrive – at every stage of life

Not only do women spend up to 50 per cent of their lives in perimenopause, menopause and beyond, but there are significant gaps in the health-care knowledge and support they receive as they age.

Too many women’s menopause symptoms have been dismissed as ‘normal’. Too few studies have investigated why women are more likely to die after a heart attack than men. And too many women have been told to cope with ‘unexplained’ symptoms that negatively impact their relationships, psychological well-being and overall quality of life.

It's time to end the stigma.

At Sinai Health, we're working to address this global equity issue. The Weston and O’Born Centre for Mature Women’s Health at Mount Sinai Hospital is our answer to the pressing gaps that exist in research, education and care. As the most comprehensive centre of its kind in the world it will ensure more women than ever before are heard and cared for – through all of life’s stages.

Together, let’s speak up for women’s health care

There are still too many unanswered questions about how menopause and aging impact women’s long-term health. We’re changing that. Will you join us?

Gender-specific language has been used throughout this website, as reflected in publications and research. However, Sinai Health Foundation recognizes that some persons experiencing peri-menopause and menopause may identify differently than with the gender and pronouns used.
The Weston and O’Born Centre for Mature Women’s Health builds upon the legacy of The Frances Bloomberg Centre for Women's and Infants' Health – Canada's largest academic centre for women's and infants’ health and one of the top five in the world.
