Mercy Health is proud to announce that Dr. James Matheson has successfully earned the Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP) certification, a distinction awarded by The Menopause Society to health care professionals who demonstrate advanced competency and commitment to evidence‑based menopause care.
Founded in 1989, The Menopause Society is the leading nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering health care professionals to improve the health of women during the menopause transition and beyond. The MSCP certification is granted to physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurse midwives, nurses, pharmacists and other clinicians who have completed rigorous training and examination in menopause-focused care.
“I am honored to receive this certification,” Dr. Matheson said. “Menopause is a significant and often misunderstood phase of life, and women deserve clear information, personalized guidance and evidence‑based care. My goal is to ensure that every patient feels heard, supported and empowered as they navigate midlife health changes.”
“Mercy Health congratulates Dr. Matheson on achieving this important certification,” added Alexandria Michalski, regional practice administrator for Mercy Health. “This accomplishment reflects his dedication to providing comprehensive, compassionate care to women navigating the menopause transition and ensuring they have access to the highest standard of clinical support.”
Dr. Matheson’s certification arrives at a time when January’s national health observances encourage women to prioritize preventive care. The month highlights several key wellness initiatives—including Cervical Health Awareness Month and weight‑related health campaigns—which promote screenings, early detection, and proactive conversations about midlife and long‑term health. These observances create an ideal backdrop for emphasizing the importance of specialized menopause care and ensuring women have access to informed, experienced providers.
While Menopause Awareness Month occurs in October, women’s health remains a priority year‑round, and Mercy Health is committed to ensuring that midlife and menopausal care receive prominent attention and support.
