Perry Announces Launch of Perry Academy: A Groundbreaking Platform Redefining Midlife Women's Care

NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Perry, the leading digital health platform for women navigating perimenopause, announces the launch of Perry Academy—a first-of-its-kind education and empowerment platform designed to train the professionals women trust most across healthcare and wellness. The Academy's inaugural program, the Perimenopause Certificate®, is a comprehensive, accredited training that equips practitioners to provide evidence-based, empathetic care for women in midlife. The launch is timed with Perimenopause Awareness Month.

Perry Academy is more than a training program. It's a movement to close the midlife care gap—built on over 500,000 lived experiences from the Perry community.

"Too many women are misdiagnosed, dismissed, or left in the dark in midlife. Perry Academy is changing that by equipping professionals with real-world training, patient insights, practical tools, and a bold new standard of care," said Laura Okafor, Founder and CEO of Perry. "We're building a stronger support system for women—starting with the health professionals they turn to first."

What Makes Perry Academy Different

• Powered by lived data: Built from 500,000+ real life patient insights across Perry's community and platform
• CME and CE/CEU accredited: Structured learning for physicians, therapists, coaches, dietitians, and allied professionals
• Built with experts: Developed alongside leading health professionals including Mary Jane Minkin, MD, Suzanne Gilberg MD, Stacy Sims, Ph.D., Jayne Morgan, MD,
• Tech-forward learning experience: Modular content, embedded tools, case-based simulations, and patient-practitioner communication resources
• Scalable and trackable: Built to integrate into employer wellness programs, health systems, and digital health platforms
• Membership-based access: Health practitioners receive ongoing education, peer support, and fresh tools as part of a dynamic learning ecosystem

Two Academy Membership Tracks:

• Perry Advanced for Prescribing Practitioners: CME-accredited expert modules for deeper clinical specialization
• Perry Core for Allied Health Professionals: A CE/CEU-accredited foundational program in perimenopause care for allied health professionals

The Perimenopause Certificate® serves as the entry point for both tracks, providing a shared foundation of core knowledge, practical case studies, and patient communication strategies before professionals branch into specialized training.

Education Modules include:

• Hormonal health, metabolism, and weight
• Evidence-based treatment options & latest research
• Mental health, trauma, and sleep
• Skin, hair, and sexual wellness
• Health equity and racial disparities
• Vaginal health
• Patient communication and inclusive care frameworks

Graduates of the Perimenopause Certificate® receive a credential and are featured in the Perry-Certified Directory—a digital resource connecting women to perimenopause-competent healthcare professionals.

"This is the education I wish I had earlier in my career," said Dr. Suzanne Gilberg, board-certified OB-GYN, Chief Medical Instructor at Perry Academy, author of The Menopause Bootcamp, and Chief Clinical Officer at Monarch. "We're not just filling a gap—we're raising the standard. This curriculum treats perimenopause as the complex, evolving experience it is, and gives clinicians practical tools and language to meet women with clarity, compassion, confidence, and evidence."
