A Simpler Path for Women’s Health — From Midlife and Beyond
Welcome to the Cleveland Clinic Women’s Comprehensive Health and Research Center
Healthcare Reimagined — For You.Your body changes as you move through your 40s, 50s, 60s and beyond. A lot. And it’s not just your cycle changing or feeling stiff when you get out of bed in the morning. It’s about facing these changes head-on and wanting to feel your best. You deserve healthcare that helps you lead an active life. That’s where Cleveland Clinic comes in.
You’ll feel seen, heard and supported at our Women’s Comprehensive Health and Research Center.
Taking the Guesswork Out of Your Healthcare Needs
With the help of Maria Shriver, the center’s Chief Visionary and Strategic Advisor, we’re empowering you and other women to navigate your health journey with confidence and clarity. A well-known journalist and women’s health advocate, Shriver founded the Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement Prevention and Research Center at Cleveland Clinic. She continues to leverage her experience, influence and passion for advancing women’s healthcare to help us transform the way we deliver care today — and into the future.
Through the center, you can access providers from the specialties you need in one convenient place. When you reach out, our patient navigators will schedule an evaluation. That’s your first step to getting personalized care.
You’ll see experienced providers every step of the way — ones dedicated to your well-being. Ones who dive deeply into research to redefine healthcare for midlife and beyond. Our team is here for you in many ways — inside and outside the exam room — with telehealth services, virtual visits and digital tools at your fingertips.

Benefit from our innovation and research
Our center’s providers are dedicated to improving women’s health for midlife and beyond. We’re working to pioneer new tools, therapies and thinking that will redefine care for this stage of life across specialties. Not just locally, but globally.
Part of this commitment is our ongoing collaboration with The Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement at Cleveland Clinic — a part of our organization focused on further addressing and reducing risk for Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological conditions in women.
Its flagship program, the WAM Prevention and Research Center, builds on the latest peer-reviewed science suggesting up to 45% of Alzheimer’s cases could be prevented through healthy lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise. The first-of-its-kind clinic uses a woman’s unique medical history, biological risks, habits, mood and memory to create a custom, sustainable plan for lifestyle modifications that can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

“Midlife marks an important milestone in ensuring changes to a woman’s menopausal and hormonal health, reproductive health, mental health, chronic conditions and preventive care are addressed. Our priority is to help women in this stage of life make educated decisions about their health and have access to the services they need to thrive, while also feeling seen, heard and supported.”
— Beri Ridgeway, MD, Enterprise Chief of Staff
