Panel: Women’s Health Discussion: Patient-Centered Care in Women’s Health

Panel: Women’s Health Discussion: Patient-Centered Care in Women’s Health - moderated by Dr. Hernan Acosta This patient panel will bring together individuals with lived experience of endometriosis to share their perspectives on the physical, emotional, and practical realities of navigating this condition. Panelists will discuss the impact of symptoms on daily life, delays in diagnosis, unmet needs in care, and the importance of being heard and supported throughout the patient journey. The conversation will also highlight how patient networks help individuals navigate care and access meaningful support. The discussion will help connect the clinical and scientific content presented during the women’s health session with the real-world experiences of patients, highlighting the need for compassionate, informed, and multidisciplinary approaches to care. Panelists will also offer insight into how education, access, and patient-centred support can help improve conversations around symptom management, quality of life, and the potential role of cannabinoid-based therapies within a broader care plan.
