A statewide strategic plan, to be developed by the Virginia Department of Health in collaboration with the Department of Veterans Services, aims to improve the identification, education, treatment, and long-term health outcomes of women veterans in midlife, with a specific focus on perimenopause, menopause, and associated chronic health conditions. The plan will encompass evaluating healthcare gaps, identifying prevalence and risk factors, establishing key performance indicators, and developing evidence-based recommendations for community education, provider training, and healthcare integration. It also involves proposing data collection frameworks, assessing pilot program feasibility, and analyzing the economic impact of untreated conditions to inform legislative and budgetary recommendations.
