U.S. Rep. Shontel Brown Champions Federal Push for Uterine Fibroid Research

August 13,2025

Congresswoman Shontel Brown (D‑OH) has reintroduced the U-FIGHT Act (Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health and Treatment Act), designed to establish a federal grant program under the Department of Health and Human Services. This initiative aims to enhance early detection, treatment interventions, research, educational outreach, and address disparities in pain management—particularly benefiting those disproportionately affected, like Black women. The reintroduction of this legislation marks an ongoing effort to fill a critical gap in women’s health by prioritizing uterine fibroid research and support at the federal level.
