What is Red Hot Mamas?

Red Hot Mamas is a menopause education and management program. The physical and emotional symptoms women experience prior to and during menopause can raise a lot of questions. The goal of this program is to help women navigate this season of life, get answers to their questions, and maintain a healthy active life in the years that follow menopause. With an average life span of 81 years, women spend about 1/3 of their lives post-menopause. Make the most of those years by being proactive now.  Information will be provided on symptom management. But you will also be given the tools for preventive health measures such as exercise, nutrition, and stress management. All of these will improve the quality of your life both now and in the future. 

When & Where?

Union Hospital’s Red Hot Mamas program is offered free of charge to women and their families. 

Plan to join us on the fourth Tuesday of each month, 6:30p.m.-8:00 p.m. in the hospital’s lower level conference rooms.
