As Progyny continues to champion benefits that support family building and women’s health globally, we’re proud to join the annual Night of Hope Gala hosted by our partner, RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. This event celebrates the leaders who bring hope to the millions of people striving to build their families—and we’re honored to be part of it.
On November 18 in New York City, RESOLVE will recognize the 2025 Hope Award honorees for their incredible contributions:
- Camille Hammond, MD, MPH, receiving the Barbara Eck Founder’s Award;
- Julie Eshelman, receiving the Risa A. Levine RESOLVE Advocacy Award;
- Joe Cody, receiving the Hope Award for Advocacy;
- Katelyn Lang, receiving the Barbara Collura Hope Award for Service;
- Lora Shahine, MD, receiving the Hope Award for Social Influence;
- SisterSong, receiving the Hope Award for Achievement for their campaign targeting Black (In)Fertility Awareness Week; and
- Dell Technologies, receiving the Hope Award for Access.
As someone who has spent nearly three decades in reproductive medicine and women’s health—first as an OB/GYN/REI taking care of patients and now as the Chief Medical Officer of Progyny—I’ve seen firsthand the profound impact that committed individuals and organizations can have on family building outcomes.
This year, I have the honor of presenting the Hope Award of Access to Dell Technologies in recognition of their unwavering commitment to providing their workforce with comprehensive fertility and family building benefits. We share the belief that everyone who wants to build a family should have access to all available options. They offer meaningful, life-changing benefits—providing evidence-based education and support, access to necessary treatments like IVF and IUI, and financial support for adoption and surrogacy. These efforts have helped over 700 families on their path to parenthood.
Every Night of Hope inspires me. It’s a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together to remove barriers and support individuals in realizing their dream of parenthood.
