Created by patients for patients.
The Endo Educational Organization of Canada (EEOC) is a federal non-profit organization created by mother-daughter duo, Deborah & Emma Weiland. After generational experiences with misinformation, delays to diagnosis and inaccessibility to proper care or treatment for endometriosis, they had to help find solutions. At the EEOC we believe that education about endometriosis is vital component for positive and affective change. Patients can not afford to wait an average of 7 to 10 years for a diagnosis* and further years for multi-disciplinary treatment. Join our mission today to change the future of endometriosis in Canada.

Our Values
Awareness
We believe awareness efforts must be rooted in relevant and factual information. We always ensure this is a priority throughout our initiatives because patients can’t afford any delays caused by misinformation.
Accessibility
We always strive to advocate for greater accessibility to proper care, treatment and information, for all people with endometriosis. Endometriosis does not just affect those assigned female at birth (AFAB).
Advocacy
We believe that information is a powerful tool that can help patients, caregivers and professionals better advocate for appropriate care and treatment surrounding endometriosis.
