Senate Joint Resolution 565, sponsored by Crowe, aims to designate March 2026 as "Endometriosis Awareness Month" in Tennessee. The resolution highlights the significant impact of endometriosis, a chronic gynecological condition affecting one in ten women of childbearing age in the U.S. It emphasizes the challenges associated with the disease, including a lengthy average diagnosis delay of ten years, the potential for severe pelvic pain and infertility, and the substantial healthcare costs and lost productivity it incurs.

The resolution calls for increased education and awareness about endometriosis to improve early detection and diagnosis, as well as to advocate for further research into treatment options. It acknowledges the varying access to treatment based on factors such as region and insurance coverage, and it stresses the importance of informing both the public and healthcare providers about the disease and its symptoms.
