A “blog” or Web log is simply a type of web site in a format that allows for easy updating and feedback.  The most recent entries will be at the top.  This will allow the easy addition of new information  and comments on health related news stories quickly.  Another beauty to a blog is the ability for readers to comment and ask questions.    The more participation and feedback there is, the more useful this blog can be.  If you would like to be automatically notified when a new post is added then subscribe by leaving your e-mail in the box to the right.

The goal is to offer a reliable source of accurate material useful to anyone looking for information related to menopausal health.  The internet may be jam packed with information, but who can you trust?  Many sites and blogs are sponsored by companies or people selling things.  Information may be opinion rather than research based.  Many bloggers make their living by selling space on their blogs for advertisements or promoting products and services.  The content may be biased depending on who is giving them money or other benefits.   Writers may not have any medical background.  These blogs all have their place, but browser beware!

This blog has the sponsorship and backing of a world class health care organization- Henry Ford Health System of Detroit, Michigan.   The blog will cover topic information offered in our menopause support circle meetings, comments on health care news and responses to your questions and comments.  As part of an extensive and reknown health care system we have an expert to cover just about any topic and question.

I wish to acknowlege Henry Ford Health System web services and 2008 Leadership Academy  for their invaluable assistance in the development and upkeep of this blog.

Please remember that any information you put in your comments or questions is not private and is available for all to see.  Any advice given is general information and not meant to replace evaluation and treatment by  your health care provider.
