Hope Beyond Pain - Endometriosis Unveiled
As four patients urgently search for answers to mysterious symptoms, Below the Belt exposes widespread problems in our healthcare systems that disproportionately affect women. From societal taboos and gender bias to misinformed doctors and barriers to care, the film reveals how millions are suffering in silence and how, by fighting back, we can improve healthcare for everyone. Following the film screening, we will hold a panel discussion about endometriosis.
Panelists include:
- Dr. Malcolm “Kip” Mackenzie, Endometriosis Excision Specialist & Co-Founder of TEAM (The Endometriosis Alliance of MA)
- Melanie Tanionis, Co-Founder & Director of Team (The Endometriosis Alliance of MA)
- Heather Ballantine, Patient & Endo Advocate
- Stacy Costa, Patient & Endo Advocate
Refreshments will be provided!
