Path2Parenthood Honors Mark Leondires, MD for His Contributions In the Fertility Field
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 03, 2015 -- Path2Parenthood (formerly The American Fertility Association) recognized Mark Leondires, M.D., for his contributions and work with patients at the organization’s annual "Illuminations" fundraising gala in New York City last night. Dr. Leondires received the Joyce M. Vargyas, M.D. Visionary Award, which celebrates the work of individuals and organizations who have made a positive impact in the fields of fertility, reproductive health, and family building.
Don Hribek, a colleague in the infertility field who has known Dr. Leondires for over 20 years, presented the honorary award in a room filled with the infertility field’s most distinguished professionals, saying: “The Dr. Joyce M. Vargas Visionary award was conceived to honor an individual who exemplified her innovation, visionary patient care, faced and overcame challenges and adversity to assist people in creating families… She would be thrilled with our honoree tonight because he practices medicine in ways very similar to her.”
Since Dr. Leondires established Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT) 13 years ago, the practice has become a leader in the infertility field with some of the most successful ongoing pregnancy rates in the country. Dr. Leondires is known throughout the infertility field for his whole-patient approach. RMACT is a comprehensive fertility practice that offers cutting-edge medical treatment, as well as emotional support, yoga classes, acupuncture, nutrition counseling and patient workshops. These services are part of Dr. Leondires’ mission to bring fertility success to everyone. RMACT has a robust program for patients seeking help for primary and secondary infertility, fertility preservation and family building options for the LGBTQ community.
“People dream about one day starting a family; nobody dreams about one day seeing a fertility specialist,” says Dr. Leondires, who has his own personal fertility story that includes working with two gestational carriers for his two sons. “But from the moment a patient walks through my practice door, I want to provide them with things they didn’t even know they needed: knowledge, hope and support. That’s how we achieve fertility success.”
