RESOLVE |
National RESOLVE
Founded in 1974 by Barbara Eck Menning,
a nurse, RESOLVE has grown from a small kitchen operation to a national
organization. RESOLVE has a database of more than 40,000 individuals and
providers, more than 50 chapters nationwide and a nationally paid staff of
17 that provides services and programs for individuals experiencing
infertility.
RESOLVE is a non-profit organization run by a volunteer board. The
board includes individuals who have experienced medical concerns regarding
infertility and who have adopted children. It also includes members of the
professional community - nurses, lawyers, CPA's and business people. All
are committed to providing services of the highest quality for members of
the general public.
RESOLVE advocates on the national and local level for comprehensive
insurance coverage for infertility treatment and other family-building
issues of concern. In principal and in practice, RESOLVE values and seeks
a diverse membership. There shall be no barrier to full participation in
this organization.
The Pittsburgh Chapter
Pittsburgh has had
an active chapter, run by volunteers only, since 1978. Within the
past two years, our chapter has expanded to several satellite locations in
order to help provide support for anyone dealing with infertility.
Please select any of the links to the right to learn more.
Our chapter and each satellite location
holds regularly scheduled monthly educational meetings that are open, free
of charge, to anyone wishing to attend. The topics for discussion
and education are various but always deal with infertility, adoption or
advocacy. Check out our online calendar of events to view the latest
meeting schedule and location. We hope to see you at one of our
meetings!

Parenting
After Infertility (PAI)
PAI was created in
1997 by a group of resolved members in order to have a new type of peer
group. PAI gets together to talk about various issues and to enjoy
our families. Family outings have included activities that range
from picnics to the Pittsburgh Zoo.
If you or someone else you know about is resolved, please let us
know. We would like to send you a welcome letter and a small gift of
congratulations. E-mail the PAI
