EndoRISE is a groundbreaking, state supported initiative to address Endometriosis, a highly invasive, under-diagnosed and under-researched disease.
Seeking to improve awareness and health outcomes in Connecticut, while driving research breakthroughs that will impact women across the nation and beyond, the EndoRISE program's multifaceted approach includes:
  • The creation of the CT Data and Biorepository, a diverse data and specimen biorepository to enable research, clinical and industry collaborations
  • The education of healthcare providers, students and frontline professionals about endometriosis diagnosis and best practices
  • Serving as a centralized resource, to disseminate information and raise public awareness about the disease
Whether a patient, researcher, provider, or simply interested in learning more, we welcome you to join us in the effort to impact the lives of the over 200 million people suffering from this disease.
