Thank you to everyone who attended PRM’s event, Understanding Endometriosis: A Discussion on Breaking Through Medical Gaslighting, at KNÓSIS Wellness Center in Manhattan! We had great conversations between providers and patients, insightful information shared, and new connections made for patients who have been searching for multidisciplinary care providers.
As attendees were leaving the event, we heard recurring themes of being grateful for new and insightful information provided by the panel, feeling empowered with new knowledge to find the right multidisciplinary care for their endometriosis pain and symptoms, and excitement to learn more about PRM and meet with PRM pelvic pain and endometriosis specialists.
Thank You to Our Team
