Susan Hendrix has played an important role in the OB/GYN department of Wayne State University’s School of Medicine. For the last fifteen years she has pioneered research that has assisted women with the difficulties of aging. Her work in the area of hormone replacement therapy has caused significant changes to the way that women are treated during their menopausal and post-menopausal passages of life. But her work in this location may be coming to a close. Hendrix, along with five other doctors from the same department, gave resignation recently.
“Hendrix, who has been at Wayne State for 15 years, said the decision to break from Wayne State was largely due to Wayne's direction under a new dean and the school's inability to patch up its relationship with the Detroit Medical Center.”
The Detroit Medical Center may actually see the benefits of the resignation. Hendrix has worked in the past at their Hutzel Women’s Hospital and hopes to continue her research at this location. She also hopes to work with underprivileged women to offer them the same kind of benefits that she has helped other women achieve during menopause. Hopefully she will continue to be able to research hormone replacement therapy and make headway in aging for women despite the professional difficulties that she has been facing.
