Advocacy, Support, & Exciting Additions!
AllPaths Family Building is proud to be one of the founders of The Endometriosis Alliance of Massachusetts (TEAM).
Endo Advocates at the MA State House, July 2025
For the first time in its history, Massachusetts is considering legislation that would help raise awareness and improve the care of endometriosis. Endometriosis is a chronic, often painful, condition where tissue similar to uterine lining grows outside the uterus, and attaches to internal organs.
When the Joint Committee of Public Health recently held a hearing on these bills, over 20 people testified in-person or virtually, with many more submitting written testimony. This was all very impactful and powerful. Those present at the State House added yellow, the official endo color, into their wardrobe choices.
If you’re interested in getting involved in TEAM and advocating for these bills, feel free to reach out to Kate at kwleblanc@allpathsfb.org!
