Halle Berry Testifies Before Maine Legislature to Pass Menopause Bill
AROOSTOOK COUNTY, MAINE, JUL 11 – At least 24 bills across 15 states seek to improve menopause care through medical education, workplace protections, and insurance coverage, addressing gaps in treatment and awareness.
- In March, Halle Berry appeared before legislators in Maine to advocate for the passage of a bill focused on improving menopause care and awareness.
- This advocacy comes amid renewed interest in menopause care following decades of silence after a 2002 study linked hormone therapy to breast cancer risks.
- Maine's bill, signed by Gov. Janet Mills last week, directs the Department of Health to educate providers on perimenopause and menopause issues.
- Berry recounted experiencing multiple misdiagnoses and feeling dismissed by doctors, who made her feel like she was exaggerating her symptoms, underscoring the healthcare challenges women often encounter.
- This legislation is part of a wider national effort, with more than twenty bills proposed this year in at least 15 states focusing on enhancing education, insurance benefits, and workplace rights related to menopause.
