In 2012, a group of individuals with endometriosis came together with a common goal – to improve the quality of life for people living with endometriosis across Canada.
They recognized the need for resources and support, and founded The Endometriosis Network Canada as a not-for-profit organization to fulfill this need. Through their dedication and hard work, The Endometriosis Network Canada became a registered charity in 2016, and continues to inspire and support those affected by endometriosis while expanding their reach across Canada. The Endometriosis Network Canada team’s unwavering commitment to making a difference has brought hope and comfort to countless individuals affected by the chronic illness.
