    WASHINGTON, DC, April 26, 2019 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The Fibroid Foundation (https://www.fibroidfoundation.org), a nonprofit dedicated to creating and supporting initiatives to find a cure for fibroids, today announced that its Founder and Executive Director Sateria Venable, will be a featured panelist at leading healthcare conferences in the United States and Canada this spring.

They are:
Accessing the Spectrum of Quality Health Care (ACOG), Nashville, Tennessee, May 3rd
Topic: "Comparing Patient Centered Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids: Balancing Symptoms Burden, Surgical Innovation and the Patient's Voice"

"It is an honor to be invited to speak at these highly influential healthcare conferences," notes Venable, who has been actively involved for over a decade in advocacy work.

I am looking forward to participating in the conversation in an instructive manner on global platforms, as well as fortifying my own knowledge base."

She is the co-author of a scientific paper for the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology on fibroids - https://www.ajog.org/article/S0002-9378(18)30396-X/abstract - and co-author of two soon to be released publications on the national Compare-UF fibroid study that registered over 3,000 women in the U.S. and has been featured in many leading media outlets, including The Washington Post, ThriveGlobal, Buzzfeed, HuffPost, and multiple podcasts.
