About Henry Ford Women's Health - Royal Oak
Kelly Strawser is a certified nurse midwife at Henry Ford Women's Health in Royal Oak, and her profile names her a Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. Henry Ford says its certified nurse midwives care for women from puberty through menopause, and menopausal care is one of the services they list. The midwives treat menopause as a normal life stage rather than a medical problem, and they work alongside the gynecologists and obstetricians in the same group. Hormone therapy is offered and matched to a woman's own risk profile, with estrogen available as a gel, pill, patch, ring or vaginal cream. Henry Ford cautions that custom compounded hormones are not tested for purity or safety and points women to regulated products instead. Menopause is one of the reasons a patient can be seen by video visit through the Henry Ford patient portal.
