Endo Forward Foundation

Endo Forward Foundation is dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of individuals affected by endometriosis in the DFW and Austin areas. Our organization is committed to providing support, resources, and raising awareness to help those facing the challenges of this condition.

Our primary objective is to build a strong and interconnected community for individuals who suspect they have, or are impacted by, endometriosis. Through our assistance, people can access a wealth of resources, connect with others who share similar experiences, and find the support they need throughout their journey.

One of our core initiatives is the provision of free Patient Advocacy services to individuals dealing with endometriosis in the DFW & Austin areas. We assist in locating medical professionals, offer guidance on billing-related questions, and provide information on endometriosis-related matters. Our aim is to empower individuals with the knowledge and resources necessary to make informed decisions about their healthcare.

To support the DFW and Austin Endo communities, we also provide post-operative care baskets to individuals recovering from surgery. These care baskets are designed to offer essential items during the recovery period while providing a sense of support. We affectionately call them "hug in a basket!"

We recognize the importance of comprehensive care in managing endometriosis and strive to make these resources accessible to those in need. We recently launched the HealForward Fund Scholarship to help individuals cover essential services such as pelvic floor therapy and mental health counseling. In the future, we aspire to assist individuals in covering travel expenses to see providers in other areas, considering the limited number of excision specialists in the US (only about 100 to serve approximately 6.5 million people). By doing so, we aim to break down barriers and ensure equitable access to quality care. 

Furthermore, we are dedicated to creating collaborative content with healthcare providers to enhance their knowledge and understanding of endometriosis. By partnering with professionals, we aim to share the latest education, studies, and advancements in identifying, diagnosing, and treating this condition. Through these collaborations, we aim to improve the overall care and support available to individuals affected by endometriosis.

Join us on our journey to empower and support individuals affected by endometriosis. Together, we can raise awareness, provide crucial resources, and make a lasting impact on the lives of those navigating this challenging condition within our local community.
