Medical Conference 2025: Cutting-Edge Science and Surgical Advancements
Endometriosis affects millions, yet a lack of education and awareness often results in delayed diagnosis and treatment. Early diagnosis changes endometriosis care, leading to timely intervention and improved long-term health outcomes.
On February 28 and March 1, 2025, join the Endometriosis Foundation of America (EndoFound) at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City for the 16th Annual Medical Conference—a premier gathering of leading researchers, clinicians, and advocates dedicated to advancing endometriosis research and improving patient care.
This year's theme, "Your Mother Should Know, Your Doctor Should Know Better," highlights the critical role of family history, early detection, and medical education in transforming endometriosis diagnosis and treatment. By recognizing symptoms earlier and increasing awareness, early diagnosis changes endometriosis care, ensuring patients receive the support and treatment they need for better outcomes.
