The Fibroid Foundation advocates for the passage of The Stephanie Tubbs Jones Fibroid Research and Education Act – H.R. 2007 introduced in The House of Representatives by Representative Yvette D. Clarke (NY-9). The Stephanie Tubbs Jones Uterine Fibroid Research and Education Act will provide $150M to the National Institutes of Health for fibroid research. 

In the United States, an estimated 26,000,000 women between the ages of 15 and 50 have uterine fibroids.Uterine fibroids are the most common gynecologic condition in women2, however, treatment options and medical research funding have yet to match the enormity of the affected community. 

The “Uterine Fibroids: Burden and Unmet Medical Need” 2017 study found that, “Using ultrasound screening, the estimated cumulative incidence rate of UF (uterine fibroids) by the age of 50 is significantly higher in black women (80%) compared with white women (nearly 70%).”3 Annually, uterine fibroids account for approximately half of hysterectomies performed in the United States.  Data has shown that there are significant cardiovascular risk factors associated with hysterectomy.

According to The Fibroid Foundation, patients are suffering in silence. Community members express concerns about limited treatment options, the high cost of treatment, insurance coverage, and difficulty finding fibroid specialists. The organization recognizes the significant health disparities impacting its community and provides support to address them from a unique patient perspective. 

The Fibroid Foundation mission:

  • Normalize conversations about menstruation.
  • Foster a movement for everyone with a uterus to thrive.
  • Eliminate treatment disparities with layered patient support.
  • Engage family and community in the menstrual health mission
  • Enable those diagnosed with uterine fibroids to experience a smooth path to treatment with fulfilling outcomes
  • Spark joy through advocacy.
  • Understand how and why fibroids develop, and ultimately find a cure.
