RMACT Offers FREE Events All Spring

Reproductive Medicine Associates of CT (RMACT) is offering you information so that you can make the best decisions possible for yourself. Whether you want a family now or in the future, it’s time to come out of hibernation.  Feel the warmth of the sun, find a commitment to education about your health, fertility and family building.

If you, a friend, or a family member needs to learn more, RMACT is here to help. Please read through the choices below for April.

Free Education & Infertility Support Events – Because You Deserve It

We offer a lot because you deserve a lot. You deserve to know how your reproductive system works. Please do share this with a friend, colleague or relative. It’s very hard when we find these things out later than we should and it compromises our family building. It’s heart-breaking to find out so late that family building becomes almost impossible. These educational and support events are designed to give you hope. Hope to see you soon.
