About Patient Day

EndoFound’s annual Patient Day is a full-day conference that brings together endometriosis patients, loved ones, caregivers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocates for education, connection, and support. The event creates a welcoming space where the endometriosis community can come together to learn, share experiences, and build meaningful connections.

Through engaging discussions led by physicians, researchers, patient advocates, patients and thought leaders, Patient Day highlights the latest advancements in endometriosis diagnosis, treatment, and care. Attendees gain trusted information, practical resources, and empowering insights to better manage their health and live their best lives with endometriosis.

Patient Day will be held jointly with the Saturday Medical Conference, featuring this year’s focus on ‘gut health’ and endometriosis as a nerve-centric disease, primarily emphasis on the ‘vagus nerve'!

Your Ticket Includes:

  • Patient Day 2026 - LIVE: Access to a full day of educational talks and patient panels.
  • Virtual Experience: A thoughtfully curated virtual experience offering access to select Patient Day presentations. Not all sessions will be available virtually.
  • Session Recordings: All attendees will receive a link to view the session recordings after the event.
  • Food & Drinks: Breakfast, lunch, and beverages throughout the day--gluten-free and dairy-free options available!
  • Networking Reception: A Patient Day networking reception will be held on the evening of March 7th at 3 Times Square, featuring light bites, refreshments, and community connection.
  • Medical Conference Access: Attendees are also welcome to sit in on EndoFound's signature Medical Conference for physicians and researchers on Saturday, March 7th, also at 3 Times Square.

Hear From Our Attendees


“I feel so much more informed about this disease, which is still very new to me, affirmed that I am on the correct path to healing, and empowered to be in the presence of so many strong endo warriors.”



“I will be attending every event as long as they are held. I met so many incredible women and found such comfort in knowing I am not alone.”

“As a caretaker, I can breathe a little easier knowing my daughter is not alone any longer. The information we learned on Patient Day has been so helpful as many questions were answered that were causing us so much stress.”
