About the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association, Inc.

The Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Association, Inc. (commonly known as the PCOS Association) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering women with PCOS through evidence-based education, expert partnerships, and comprehensive resources that address the root causes of this complex condition. Founded in 1995, the PCOS Association has been a pioneering force in PCOS education, patient advocacy, and professional collaboration. At a time when public awareness of PCOS was virtually nonexistent — and even many physicians were unfamiliar with its diagnosis and management — the PCOS Association emerged as a crucial voice for women seeking answers, support, and a better future. Our mission is to equip every woman with the tools and partnerships necessary to achieve personal ownership of her healthcare journey, grounded in evidence-based discovery and expert guidance. Our vision is a future where women with PCOS have equitable access to education, clinical partnerships, and individualized resources that allow them to identify and address the fundamental causes of their condition — achieving lifelong health, autonomy, and wellbeing. What We Do: * Provide clear, well-vetted educational resources on PCOS management and treatment. * Foster connections between patients and expert practitioners specializing in PCOS care. * Advocate for better PCOS diagnosis, awareness, and support within the medical community. * Stay at the forefront of scientific research, communicating timely updates to our community. Through our efforts, we aim to ensure that no woman faces PCOS alone — and that each individual has the opportunity to thrive with confidence, hope, and empowerment.
