Red Hot Mamas Menopause Education and Support Programs
By: Red Hot Mamas
Published: April 28, 2026
Red Hot Mamas® educational programs have been offered in more than 250 hospitals and physician group practices across the United States. Our evidence-based menopause education series provides comprehensive coverage of midlife health and wellness topics, engaging both women and healthcare providers to strengthen patient-provider relationships and build trust.
We tailor our programs to fit the needs of each healthcare facility, offering a turnkey, easy-to-implement model that includes:
- In-person or on-line education sessions for perimenopause through postmenopausal women.
- Customized content on menopause, symptom management, treatment options, and lifestyle strategies.
Key Features of the Program
- Educational content:
The program covers a wide range of topics related to menopause and midlife health, including hot flashes, sleep, mood, vaginal health, bone and heart health, treatment options and lifestyle strategies. Sessions are led by your own healthcare professionals and include interactive discussion. - Structured series format:
Red Hot Mamas programs entail eight sessions for twelve months, giving women the opportunity to build knowledge over time rather than in a single one-off event. Sessions are free and open to women and their loved ones who care about them. - Supportive environment:
The program creates a safe, supportive space where women can ask questions, share experiences, and learn from peers and experts. Many participants describe it as “owning the menopause conversation” in a frank, relatable, and empowering way. - Turnkey model for healthcare facilities:
Red Hot Mamas provides a turnkey, easy-to-implement model that hospitals and practices can customize to fit their patient population. This includes slide decks, handouts, marketing materials, and guidance on logistics so that administrators and clinicians can host successful programs without starting from scratch. These materials are distributed to all hospital personnel in charge of the development of the programs. - Resources beyond the classroom:
Participants are often directed to the Red Hot Mamas website (redhotmamas.org), the monthly e-newsletter The Menopause Minute®, and the online Menopause Forum on Inspire.com for ongoing information and community support.
Who Benefits from the Program?
- Women:
Women gain medically sound, balanced information; learn practical strategies for managing symptoms; and feel less alone in their experience. - Healthcare providers:
Clinicians strengthen patient-provider relationships, improve patient satisfaction, and support shared decision-making around menopause treatments. Women who attend Red Hot Mamas programs become informed patients and this improves communication and shared decision making. - Healthcare organizations:
Hospitals and group practices can expand their women’s health services, increase patient engagement, and position themselves as leaders in midlife and menopause care.
Red Hot Mamas Menopause Program is a structured, menopause education and support program that helps women navigate menopause with confidence, clarity, and connection.

Testimonials:
“As we approach year two for many of our facilities, I want to say how much we are enjoying working with Prime Plus. Red Hot Mamas has been the single most successful community outreach program we have ever launched.”
Martha Crombie, Director of Marketing Communications Triad Hospitals, Inc., Plano, TX
“Attendance has been steadily growing. We had 152 women in attendance at our meeting last week – over 50 1st timers for this meeting though…a record. Red Hot Mamas has been a terrific outreach to women in our area. The physicians on our medical staff have had an opportunity to share their knowledge in a personal way with the community. We are meeting our goals of educating our attendees, showcasing our hospital services and building our physicians practices in a setting that is warm, caring and fun!”
Jill K. Buie, Community Relations Manager Orange Park Medical Center, Orange Park, FL
“We have thoroughly enjoyed our first year and are eagerly looking forward to planning our next year’s programs. We have had so much success this past year. We ran a monthly program in 11 out of 12 months with an average attendance of 120. We have had such outstanding cooperation with our medical staff. The physicians have eagerly volunteered their services and have had good collaboration with area businesses as well. The evaluations turned in after each program have been magnificent!”
Mary Kay Verhoff, Women’s Wellness Center St. Rita’s Medical Center, Lima, OH
“The Red Hot Mamas program has been a huge success at Northwest Medical Center in Tucson, AZ! Not only are we informing the female public about important menopause issues, we are also successfully promoting our medical staff to the community. Our programs have turned into a fun “Girl’s Night Out” for many of our attendees where they enjoy free food, great company and informative programs. We usually have anywhere from 40–100 attendees at any given program. No doubt about it, this RHM program is HOT in Tucson!”
Jamie Jueschke, Marketing Coordinator Northwest Medical Center, Tucson, AZ
“Our kick-off lecture, Pause and Effect, for the Red Hot Mamas was a huge success. We presented both in Napa and St. Helena and had 70 women (and 2 men) in Napa and 50 in St. Helena. These are outstanding numbers for us! One of our Nurse Practitioners/Certified Menopause Clinician, was the speaker. We had chips and salsa, salsa music, chili pepper lights, etc. – we had fun theming the lecture. There were many favorable comments about the name of the campaign and the information that was provided. We are very excited and already have a number of registrations for February!!”
Linda Schulz, Director The Women’s Center of St. Helena Hospital, St. Helena, CA
“The Red Hot Mamas program has been a huge success for the hospital and the community we serve! We are eager to meet the educational needs of women as it relates to menopause management and recognize the value of services provided by your organization.”
William L. Willis, CEO Women’s and Children’s Hospital Lake Charles
“I just wanted to let you know that I attended the first program for Red Hot Mamas held at St. Rita’s Medical Center in Lima, Ohio last night. The speaker was Dr. Karri Krendl, and she was wonderful. She presented the facts with humor. They were hoping for 75 women to attend and over 250 showed up. It is so good to know that (a) I’m not alone and (b) I’m not crazy! Thank you so much for this program and I plan to attend every one.”
Helen Fink, Lima, Ohio
“We’re looking forward to even more fun with Red Hot Mamas this year!!! As a Red Hot Mama myself, there are SO many positive things I can say. This has been one of the most successful programs that I’ve ever worked with and I love the interaction I have with all of the women.”
Mary Arnold, RN, MS — Carilion New River Valley Medical Center, Christiansburg, VA
