About

Project PCOS envisions PCOS being recognized as a significant public health concern. This site aims to invoke, inspire and incite the PCOS Community and it's supporters to be vocal proponents in the media, advocacy coalitions, and educational forums, both online and within health related communities. People with PCOS, their families, supporters, the medical community and the general public will all be active participants in this effort.

A Special Message from the Board

Over the past year, The Project PCOS board of directors have been reviewing and defining the needs of our community. As such, Project PCOS has begun to change our focus and mission to better serve these needs.

As the definition of polycystic ovary syndrome continues to transform, so must Project PCOS. Until this time our focus has been patient advocacy, as women and girls who suffer from PCOS need current information, support, and connections to medical professionals who understand and successfully treat this syndrome. Patient advocacy has been and will remain vital to Project PCOS.

At the same time, while a standard diagnostic criterion for PCOS is available, more and more PCOS patients are finding their medical professionals lack an understanding of the syndrome. The leaders and board members of Project PCOS believe this lack of knowledge has created an urgent need for our focus to be educating the medical professionals who are diagnosing and treating PCOS patients.

Going forward, Project PCOS will be concentrating much of its effort on educating the physicians, reproductive endocrinologists, family doctors, obstetricians, gynecologists, nutritionists, medical professionals, and alternative healers about the syndrome through a series of events, partnerships and educational materials.

Project PCOS will engage PCOS patients in this new mission to help educate and inform medical professionals. With the help of our community, we will get up-to-date information and research into the hands of those working directly with PCOS patients.

Please continue to visit the Project PCOS website, PCOS message boards, PCOS Today Magazine and the many PCOS advocacy and informational sites available for updates about this new focus. Exciting times are ahead as we push PCOS awareness forward! It is only through education and awareness that PCOS will gain the attention it needs to be understood.
