The Menopause Research Institute (MRI) is an independent
subsidiary of the Center for Human Reproduction (CHR), one of the nations’s
oldest, and most reputable clinical and research centers in reproductive
medicine and infertility. MRI is exclusively dedicated to the clinical care of
women in various phases of menopause and to research that will better their
care.
WHAT WE STAND FOR:
MRI’s principle purpose is to apply and to develop
menopausal treatments for women, which facilitate a smooth transition from
normal reproductive life, through perimenopause into true menopause, while
maximizing physical health and a feeling of well being.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT:
At MRI, we don’t believe in standardized
care. We recognized a long time ago that, like fertility treatments, menopause
requires individualization. However, even more importantly, the successful
treatment of menopause cannot be static. As hormonal levels change, as
women advance through the different stages of ovarian aging, so do the
needs of their bodies. Menopause care, therefore, requires regular adjustments
to those changing needs.
WHAT WE ARE NOT:
We are not a replacement for your gynecologist.
Indeed, even though our physicians are gynecologists by specialty,
they are sub-specialists within Ob/Gyn, with special expertise in hormonal,
metabolic and reproductive matters. The care and advice they offer,
therefore, does not substitute for your routine gynecologic needs.
For that reason, we strongly recommend and encourage that patients
maintain relationships with their gynecologists, and our physicians routinely
cooperate closely with patients’ primary physicians.
