These programs have been coupled with research funding for projects through the National Institute of Health awarded to Drs. Gass, Liu, and Rebar. The Center physicians are subspeciality-trained experts in the evaluation and management of endocrinologic disease including abnormal puberty, disorders of normal reproduction, and the natural process of menopause. They also have expert knowledge of the female reproductive tract and the surgical expertise to offer the latest advances in microsurgery, hysteroscopy, as well as operative and laser laparoscopy. The Center established the Menopause and Osteoporosis Center in 1991 under the direction of Dr. Gass.
Women now spend fully a third of their lives menopausal.
The care for this group of women is, and will continue to be, a major focus of modem medicine. This program was established to care for women through the transition of menopause and thereafter, educating women and preparing them to continue fruitful, productive lives. The entire staff of the Center and its research counterpart are dedicated to the advancement of women's health care through the twenty-first century.
