March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Endometriosis is a common condition that is often extremely painful, hard to diagnose, and can affect a woman’s fertility. In honor of this month, we’re rolling out a four-part series to bring awareness to this disease.
This episode may seem like it’s about two women, Shannon Cohn, an award-winning filmmaker, attorney, and activist, and Mary Alice Hatch, an endometriosis and women’s health advocate. But it’s really an episode about 200 million women who suffer from endometriosis around the world.
Shannon and Mary Alice are co-founders of an endometriosis awareness organization called Endo What? In this third episode in our four-part series on endometriosis, we hear how this organization was created, what they’re doing to increase research and awareness for the condition, and how they’re changing the way we talk about endometriosis.
Guests: Shannon Cohn and Mary Alice Hatch, Co-Founders of Endo What?
Host: Taylor Burbach, Patient Care Supervisor at Progyny
