About Cleveland Clinic Center for Specialized Women's Health
Dr. Thacker directs Cleveland Clinic's Center for Specialized Women's Health on the main campus, and the department she heads there is named for menopause. The center works as one interdisciplinary clinic, so gynecology, endocrinology, psychiatry and breast specialists see women in the same place. Her own write-up says the focus is menopausal and hormone risk assessment and therapy, and the center's service list names menopausal hormone therapy, osteoporosis treatment including yearly infusions, and medical treatment of urine leakage. She writes at length about FDA approved pelvic floor stimulator devices that are custom fit and can be used at home in place of surgery or medication. The center also offers shared medical appointments, where up to fifteen women with similar problems spend about ninety minutes with a physician together instead of a short one on one visit. She wrote the Cleveland Clinic Guide to Menopause and runs the Speaking of Women's Health education program and podcast.
