Endo Village is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing endometriosis support through educational information, resources, advocacy, community support, interactive tools, symptom trackers, and patient-generated summaries. Endo Village operates as a valuable educational resource and is not a healthcare provider, thus it does not offer medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or individualized clinical recommendations.

For Educational Purposes Only

The information provided on the Endo Village website, through educational materials, interactive tools, printable resources, social media, events, presentations, programs, and support activities is intended solely for general educational purposes related to health education. It should never replace the individualized evaluation or care from a qualified healthcare professional.

Nothing furnished by Endo Village is designed to replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, or the establishment of a relationship with a qualified healthcare professional. Always consult your physician or another qualified healthcare provider about questions regarding your health, symptoms, diagnosis, medications, treatment options, or medical care.

Never disregard or delay seeking professional medical advice due to information encountered through Endo Village.

Interactive Tools & Patient-Generated Summaries

Endo Village may offer interactive tools, questionnaires, symptom check-ins, life-impact check-ins, and educational resources designed to assist individuals in organizing and communicating insights about their experiences. 

These resources, while beneficial for educational, self-reflection, symptom-tracking, and communication purposes, are not validated diagnostic or screening instruments and do not aim to diagnose, rule out, assess the severity of, or determine the likelihood of endometriosis or any other medical condition.

Any results, summaries, patterns, or documents produced using an Endo Village interactive tool are entirely based on user input. They should not be interpreted as a medical evaluation, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment recommendation, referral, or individualized medical advice.

Printable or downloadable summaries are designed to help patients articulate their symptoms, functional impact, and experiences to a qualified healthcare professional. A healthcare provider should evaluate these symptoms independently to ascertain whether further assessment, testing, referral, or treatment is warranted.

Symptoms associated with endometriosis frequently overlap with various other medical conditions. Do not postpone or avoid medical care based on information provided by an Endo Village tool. Seek immediate or emergency medical assistance for severe, sudden, worsening, or otherwise concerning symptoms.

Physicians, Specialists & Other Resources

Endo Village may share information about physicians, surgeons, healthcare professionals, organizations, advocates, educators, social media accounts, products, services, research, or additional resources that we believe may be beneficial to the endometriosis community. 

Inclusion in an Endo Village resource, participation in an Endo Village event, or appearance on our website or social media does not imply an endorsement, referral, or recommendation by Endo Village.

Endo Village does not guarantee the qualifications, services, outcomes, accessibility of information, or suitability of any provider, organization, product, treatment, or resource for any individual.

Patients are encouraged to conduct their own research, verify professional credentials as needed, ask questions, seek additional opinions when necessary, and make healthcare decisions in collaboration with qualified healthcare professionals.

Financial Independence

Endo Village is sustained entirely through charitable donations and community support. 

Endo Village does not receive any financial compensation from physicians, surgeons, healthcare professionals, organizations, advocates, influencers, or other individuals in exchange for being featured, included, or recommended across our website, social media, educational resources, or at Endo Village events.

Thus, the inclusion or visibility of any individual, organization, or resource should not be interpreted as a paid endorsement or sponsored recommendation.

Guest Speakers & Educational Events

Endo Village frequently invites physicians, healthcare professionals, advocates, educators, and other experts to engage in educational events and community conversations regarding health education. 

The statements, opinions, recommendations, and information shared by guest speakers are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views or recommendations of Endo Village.

Participation in an Endo Village event does not establish a healthcare provider-patient relationship between an attendee and a guest speaker or between an attendee and Endo Village.

Questions addressed during educational events aim to provide general information and should not be misconstrued as individualized medical advice.

Accuracy of Information

Medical knowledge, research, recommendations, and standards of care continue to develop. Endo Village is committed to sharing information from credible sources and updating its educational materials as needed; however, we cannot guarantee that all information will always be complete, accurate, current, or relevant to every individual.

Any reliance on information provided through Endo Village is done at your own discretion and risk.

Medical Emergencies

Endo Village does not deliver emergency medical services and does not monitor its website, email, social media channels, or other communication methods for medical emergencies.

If you are experiencing or suspect you may be experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911 or seek immediate medical attention.

Your Use of Endo Village Resources

By using this website or partaking in Endo Village programs, events, or educational activities, you acknowledge that Endo Village offers educational information and community resources rather than individualized medical care.

All healthcare decisions should be made based on your specific circumstances and in consultation with appropriately qualified healthcare professionals.
