Jaime Silva, RN is a nurse, endometriosis and adenomyosis patient, and passionate advocate for equitable, evidence-based endometriosis care. Her journey is marked by years of debilitating pelvic pain, medical dismissal, and delayed diagnosis—experiences that mirror those of millions living with this disease.

Despite her medical background, Jaime encountered the same systemic barriers so many patients face: being told her pain was “normal,” offered temporary symptom suppression instead of meaningful answers, and struggling to access providers trained in true endometriosis care. Receiving a confirmed diagnosis was both validating and overwhelming, forcing her to confront not only a chronic, progressive disease, but also the emotional weight of years of untreated suffering.

Through her lived experience, Jaime has seen firsthand that endometriosis care cannot—and should not—exist in isolation. True healing requires a multidisciplinary approach that addresses the full impact of the disease, including surgical excision, pelvic floor physical therapy, pain management, hormonal and metabolic support, and mental health care.

Jaime also co-founded a preventive and concierge-style telemedicine practice, where she continues to support women’s health through a whole-person approach rooted in education, access, and patient empowerment.

As a board member of Endometriosis Excision for All, Jaime advocates from both a clinical and deeply personal perspective. Her mission—both personally and professionally—is simple: to ensure that no one living with endometriosis ever feels alone, unheard, or without hope, and that every patient has access to gold-standard excision surgery and comprehensive, multidisciplinary care.
