Madison Magazine features Department of Ob-Gyn menopause experts

Experts from the UW Department of Ob-Gyn joined Madison Magazine to talk about menopause. Laura Bozzuto, MD, MS, assistant professor in the Division of Academic Specialists in Ob-Gyn, and Patrice Grzebielski, MD, clinical associate professor in the Division of Academic Specialists in Ob-Gyn, were featured in the article. 

In “It’s about time we talk about menopause”, menopause experts from around Madison shared their knowledge on this stage of life, as well as the use of menopause hormone therapy (MHT) to address symptoms. Bozzuto and Grzebielski, who are co-directors of the UW Health Menopause Clinic, were highlighted in the article for their expertise in menopause. Bozzuto additionally addressed concerns about the link between MHT and breast cancer:
