This is extraordinary progress! Prior to this year, three states had enacted menopause-related legislation: California, which passed a provider education law in 2024; and Illinois and Louisiana, which mandated insurance coverage for menopause treatments in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Here we are in 2025 with women nationwide demanding more coverage, more information, and more awareness — and the powers that be are listening.

Now that we know the vast potential for progress is in statehouses, we must be ready to hit the ground running in 2026.
