EndoRISE Patient Day
A Day for Women's Health
Saturday, October 17, 2026 · 8:30 AM – 2:00 PM
UConn Health · Keller Auditorium — 263 Farmington Ave, Farmington, CT 06030
Free to attend · Lunch included
Join EndoRISE for a full day dedicated to endometriosis and women's health across every stage of life. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, student, clinician, educator, or advocate, this event brings our community together to learn, connect, and move beyond awareness toward action.
What to Expect
The morning begins at 8:30 with sign-in and breakfast, followed by an introduction to EndoRISE — our mission, our research, and the unmet needs we're working to address — and a keynote on women's health.
From there, two panel discussions anchor the day:
Women's Menstrual Health Across the Lifespan explores hormonal and menstrual health through every life stage, from childhood and puberty through the reproductive years, perimenopause and menopause, and healthy aging.
Reaching the Youth Base looks at how we engage younger generations in women's health education, advocacy, and preventive care — from breaking stigma and building body literacy to school-based outreach and inclusive communication.
Over lunch, connect with patient resources, support organizations, and fellow attendees at our tabling and networking session.
We'll close the day with a screening of The M Factor: Shredding the Silence on Menopause, the acclaimed documentary on menopause and the cultural silence surrounding it — popcorn included.
