Expert Statements
Dr. Joanne Armstrong, Vice president, chief medical officer of women’s health, CVS Health
“For too long, conversations about midlife have been centered around symptoms and limitations. But midlife can also be a time of growth, reinvention and possibility. Through the work with The Midlife Collective, we will pair rigorous clinical research with powerful storytelling, elevate women’s voices, better understand their needs and bring greater awareness and education to this important stage of their health journey.”
Constance Zimmer, Emmy-nominated actress, co-founder of The Midlife Collective
“After years of listening to women's midlife experiences, one thing is clear: the story we've been told is blatantly wrong. We aim to highlight the complexity and possibility of midlife so women feel seen and understood. Through our collaboration with CVS Health, we're pairing storytelling with research to deepen understanding and shape a more accurate and inspiring narrative for future generations.”
