Recognize National Infertility Awareness Week on a LOCAL level!

National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW) is a movement that began in 1989. We are in the midst of the 2013 NIAW, which is April 21-27.  The goal of NIAW is to raise awareness about the disease of infertility and encourage the public to understand and advocate for their reproductive health.

RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association founded this movement and continues to work with the professional family building community, corporate partners, and the media to:

1. ensure that people trying to conceive know the guidelines for seeing a specialist when they are trying to conceive.
2. enhance public understanding that infertility is a disease that needs and deserves attention.
3. educate legislators about the disease of infertility and how it impacts people in their state.

In 2010 National Infertility Awareness Week became a federally recognized health observance by the Department of Health and Human Services.

On a more local, KC-area level, the timing of the 3rd annual Family Building Conference is perfect! Warm weather and lots of friendly faces are in store, as well as a keynote address by RRC’s Dr. Celeste Brabec.  A few spots remain, so please join us on Saturday, April 27!
