The House Population Health Subcommittee on March 10 advanced SJRO565, a resolution recognizing March 2026 as Endometriosis Awareness Month. The sponsor said endometriosis affects “1 in 10 women of childbearing age in The United States” and called attention to an average diagnostic delay of about 10 years.
The sponsor told the committee the condition is a chronic gynecological disease that is a leading cause of pelvic pain and infertility, and that treatment and access vary by region and insurance. Chair Carringer opened the board and the clerk announced a unanimous 10–0 vote to send the resolution to the full Health Committee.
