I too would like some information about this. I bounce around the country because of my job, but I think I could help coordinate a chapter in my home state.

We dont have one and I know that it is really underdiagnosed there.

There is not a lot of support for women with PCOS. Some of the treatment facilities are over 100 miles away, and they are far to none. And the insurance isnt all that great.

Hi Wolfsong - please contact Melinda Hughes-Wert at mwert@pcosupport.org to learn about becoming an "Ambassador" in your area. Thanks! -Chibow

I've sent three emails now to Melinda and others at PCOSupport with no response. Are they still doing the ambassador program? Several of us from the region have expressed on here, the DC forum, and on other PCOS discussions the need for something in the VA area for women with PCOS to connect. I'm eager to put something together, as there appear to be few resources out there, but am frustrated that I have not received a reply.

I will be moving to Danville/Chatham the beginning of August and would like some Cysters to hang with, etc. I started a support / social group for PCOS in Durham. I'd love to be an ambassador as well. My email is cnsmith2006@gmail.com.
