Every year, the Endometriosis Foundation of America hosts a patient conference designed to equip patients with all the tools and information they need to live their best lives with endometriosis. This year, we’re delighted to partner with The International Society for Gynecologic Endoscopy (ISGE) on March 19-21 to bring you the 2021 Global Patient Conference: The Path Toward a Cure.
The virtual conference will be offered in several different time zones and will include panels by experts in fields ranging from extrapelvic endometriosis and fertility to mental health and nutrition. We believe that living with endometriosis requires a collaborative and interdisciplinary effort that prioritizes the patient's voice. We are excited to continue spotlighting patients who will take the virtual stage to tell their stories and share their toolkits for advocacy, management, and support.
Patient Day was created for and inspired by endometriosis patients and we invite you to share this day with your loved ones and support network. Together we can seek the information and support that the endo community deserves.
