Our Vision<\/h3>\n

PCOS is one of the most critical, underserved, under-diagnosed and underfunded conditions affecting women’s health. There is a huge health disparity when it comes to PCOS diagnosis, funding and support. 50% of women and girls with PCOS are going undiagnosed. Additionally, it often takes women several years and up to seven doctors before they can find someone who can help them with the condition. Despite being one of the most common human disorders and the serious health consequences, PCOS awareness and support organizations, receive less than 0.1% of the government, corporate, foundation, and community funding that other health conditions receive. Our vision is that PCOS is treated as a public health priority.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Our Mission<\/h3>\n

Raise public awareness about PCOS and help girls and women with the condition overcome their symptoms and reduce their risk for life-threatening related diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n
