Information for physicians, nurses, and other healthcare professionals

www.EndometriosisAssn.org The Endometriosis Association is a self-help organization of women and families with endo, doctors and scientists, and others interested in exchanging information about the disease, offering mutual support and help to those affected by endo, educating the public and medical community about the disease, and promoting research related to endo. With headquarters based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (USA), the Endometriosis Association consists of members, chapters, and activities worldwide. Elected officers guide the organization, consulting with an advisory board of medical professionals and other dedicated individuals. Founded in 1980 by Mary Lou Ballweg and Carolyn Keith, the Association was the first group in the world dedicated to helping women with endometriosis. The Association’s Research Program includes the world’s largest endometriosis database, a major research partnership with Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, collaboration with the U.S. NIH, and funding of promising research worldwide. The Association also serves as a clearinghouse for information on the disease and provides a range of support services for those with endometriosis. What You Can Do There is still much to learn about the causes of endometriosis, diagnosis, treatment, management, and even prevention of the disease. Join the Endometriosis Association. The Association’s core of both patient advocacy and science helps build a strong bridge between women and girls with endometriosis and their healthcare providers.
