CARE About Fibroids

A Conversation About the Financial Impact of Uterine Fibroids

As part of Fibroid Awareness Month, CARE About Fibroids hosted roundtable with fibroids experts and advocates to educate and advance the sense of urgency around addressing this burden fibroids patients have to face.

Community

In partnership with existing women’s health stakeholders, we facilitate a strong community of patients, their loved ones, and their health providers to give voice to the struggles of women with debilitating uterine fibroids and to stand united for improving the diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Action

Through alliance with others, and the use of communications and outreach, we take decisive action to increase public and stakeholder awareness as a means to advance broad policies and discrete decisions that will improve the care of women with uterine fibroids.

Research

We work to promote increased investment for research into new treatments and mechanisms for earlier diagnosis of women with uterine fibroids.

Education

With the goal of empowering more informed patients, care providers, and decision makers in the health care sector, we serve as an educational resource on uterine fibroids for all stakeholders. This will entail acting as a clearinghouse of evidence-based information on uterine fibroids, publishing new reports and findings, and convening scholars and respected voices in the field.
