Cleveland tribute events
October 24 marked the date of the remaining two tribute events in honor of Dr. Wulf Utian as he retires from
NAMS at year's end. The morning consumer educational session featured a distinguished faculty comprised of
Drs. Steven Goldstein, Sheryl Kingsberg, Lila Nachtigall, JoAnn Pinkerton, Holly Thacker, Isaac Schiff, and
Wulf Utian. The evening Gala and Benefit was an exciting celebration of his life's accomplishments, all encapsulated within a DVD. NAMS and
Dr. Utian personally are very appreciative of all those who have supported these events through their attendance and tribute messages in the events' keepsake Programs.
Utian Fund provides enduring tribute
Another way to give tribute to Dr. Utian and help to perpetuate his work is by making a donation to The Utian Fund. These unrestricted gifts will support NAMS activities that encourage the accurate transfer of research findings into best practices in the provision of optimal health care for women at menopause and beyond.
