Navigating the Healthcare Maze: How Women 40+ Can Access, Advocate and Thrive, a strategic panel discussion designed to assist specifically perimenopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women, will take place from 7 to 9 p.m. on October 9, 2025, at Lexington Venue Theater, in Lexington, Massachusetts. The event will provide tools, confidence and practical strategies for attendees to confidently navigate healthcare complexities.

The challenges of navigating healthcare obstacles like insurance denials, confusing provider interactions and coverage limitations will be addressed. This event speaks directly to those frustrations by offering actionable insights and strategies tailored to this stage of life.

Attendees will learn how to frame effective conversations with providers, identify and tap into free support systems, appeal insurance denials, consider private-pay options and advocate for themselves with confidence and clarity. These tools can immediately improve their healthcare experience and decision-making—along with benefits for aging women in their lives. The expert panel talks will be followed by a Q-and-A session.

“This urgent conversation arrives at a pivotal moment when many midlife women feel dismissed or overwhelmed by the system—and are seeking real empowerment,” says Health Coach Catherine Walter, founder of Empower Her Midlife and owner of Catherine Walter Coaching.
