Description

In the personal and inspiring stories of four patients urgently searching for answers to mysterious symptoms, Below the Belt aims to revolutionize the status quo so that women with endometriosis are empowered to get the health care they need to live healthy, informed, fulfilling lives. Through the lens of endometriosis, a disease that affects 1 in 9 people who menstruate, the film shows how patients have often been dismissed, discounted and disbelieved. From societal taboos to gender bias, the film reveals how millions have been effectively silenced in their struggles with the painful disorder. Following the screening, members of our multidisciplinary pain team will participate in a panel discussion and answer your questions about endometriosis, other pelvic pain-related conditions and the minimally invasive treatment options available to help you reclaim your life. Parking is available in the Walnut Street Garage (215 Walnut Street) for $15 (2-4 hours). Street parking is available at no cost. If opting to park in the Walnut Street Garage, access the Whitaker Center via the Arcade level as noted in the elevator. Doors via Strawberry Square and on Market Street will also be manned and opened, starting at 6 p.m. Seating is limited, registration required. Register by Saturday, March 4.
