Delaware Institute for Reproductive Medicine, PA (DIRM), is a leading Infertility & IVF Center specializing in State of the ART treatment for all aspects of male and female infertility as well as other reproductive health issues. DIRM truly is a place where dreams, through science, become reality.
National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW) is a movement that began in 1989. The goal of NIAW is to raise awareness about the disease of infertility and encourage the public to understand 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:
·Ensure that people trying to conceive know the guidelines for seeing a specialist when they are trying to conceive.
·Enhance public understanding that infertility is a disease that needs and deserves attention.
·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.
