Hormonal health isn’t a conversation relegated to the future or the past; it matters throughout our lives. Jewish tradition teaches that seeking wisdom is itself a sacred act.

Join Erie County Health Commissioner Dr. Gale Burstein in conversation with internationally renowned physician Dr. Sarah Berga for an enlightening discussion about what the science really says about women’s hormonal health.
