House Endometriosis Caucus Meeting | Advocacy, Research & the CARE Act

On December 11, 2025, the House Endometriosis Caucus convened virtually to elevate endometriosis from an overlooked condition to a national public health priority. Hosted by the Office of Congresswoman Nikema Williams, the meeting brought together patient advocates, journalists, and leading researchers to address the urgent need for federal investment, equity in care, and faster diagnosis. Speakers included Lauren Kornegay (Founder, Endo Black), Diana Falzone (Journalist & EndoTV Host), Alexis Joel (Women’s Health Advocate), Dr. Charlotte Frank Sage (Director of Research Initiatives, Endometriosis Foundation of America), and Dr. Semir Beyaz (Assistant Professor, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory; Lead Investigator, Seckin Endometriosis Research Center for Women’s Health). The discussion highlighted the devastating physical, emotional, and financial toll of endometriosis—affecting an estimated 200 million people worldwide—and underscored disparities in diagnosis and access to care, particularly for women of color. Panelists also examined the progress and future promise of the Endometriosis CARE Act and the critical role of sustained NIH research funding. This powerful conversation reinforces why advocacy, research collaboration, and congressional leadership are essential to transforming endometriosis care—from earlier diagnosis to noninvasive treatments and, ultimately, a cure. 🔔 Stay connected: Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on advocacy efforts, research breakthroughs, and the upcoming House Endometriosis Caucus Hill Day. https://www.endofound.org/subscription
