Leadership corner: Focusing on flashes

In this month's Leadership Corner, I continue the focus on women's health to bring attention to a poorly understood, often overlooked, and nearly universal symptom for women at mid-life. Hot flashes affect 88% of the 1.2 billion women around the world who are transitioning through menopause, the time when women's menses become irregular and stop. My intent is that this column serves as a call to action to address the symptom in your home, social circles, clinical practice, research, and policy endeavors to effect change.
