Today, Congresswoman Alma S. Adams co-led the introduction of the bipartisan Endometriosis CARE Act, which would deliver $50 million annually to advance endometriosis research and expand access to treatment. The legislation is led by Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05), and co-sponsored by Congresswoman Lauren Underwood (IL-14), and Congressional Endometriosis Caucus Co-Chair, Congresswoman Jenniffer González-Colón (PR-At Large).
