"EndoRISE is starting the chain to make a change with endometriosis; we're opening the dialogue and modeling one way forward, but our hope is the impact will reach to other neglected areas of health for people with uteruses like adenomyosis, uterine fibroids, heavy menstrual bleeding, etc. Showing positive impact by programs like EndoRISE could create a ripple effect if other states take actions too." - Elise Courtois, Ph.D., an endometriosis researcher at The Jackson Laboratory.
This Connecticut-based program brings together researchers, healthcare providers, and advocates to enhance research, support, and education. Spearheaded by JAX, UConn Health, and supported by a $50,000 grant from EndoFound, EndoRISE aims to create a comprehensive biorepository for research collaboration. The launch event highlighted the importance of community support and advocacy in addressing this critical women's health issue.
