Members of the infertility community will share their stories and lead the conversation about challenges to family building and methods of resolution.

With National Infertility Awareness Week, April 18 through 24, approaching, one local doctor says her practice is doing its part by extending a helping hand and actively encouraging women facing fertility challenges to seek assistance.
