Conceivable Dreams is a grassroots patient organization that helps Ontarians build families by advocating for affordable access to fertility treatments regardless. Since 2008, we have led the Ontario movement for public funding of IVF. In 2015, we were successful in helping advocate for the Ontario Fertility Program. Today, we continue work with stakeholders including physicians, allied health care providers, fertility clinics, industry leaders and partners, as well as past and future patients to ensure the continued future of the OFP and increased access to infertility treatments.
2020 will mark the five year anniversary of the Ontario Fertility Program (OFP). This is great news, however, we can never take any government program for granted. Our mission is to continue to educate key government officials and raise awareness about the program to ensure it’s here to stay. This year, we will also prioritize how drug coverage for infertility patients can be improved as required medications are not funded under the OFP.
Board of Directors
To help us achieve our goals, we are looking for the following board members and volunteers to help us advance our mandate. We are a working board and ask our board members to participate in a monthly board call and donate four hours a month to support our advocacy goals.
