Risa A. Levine RESOLVE Advocacy Legacy Award Recipient
Dr. Amato is a Professor of OB/GYN and REI Division Director at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), where she specializes in caring for patients with infertility. The science of reproduction and connecting with individuals and families as they pursue their family-building goals are what inspired her to pursue a career in reproductive endocrinology and infertility. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of ASRM and is slated to become President in October 2023.
Dr. Amato is a tireless advocacy leader in Oregon to help get an IVF and fertility preservation insurance mandate passed. Dr. Amato is RESOLVE's lead advocate and works closely with the state coalition and RESOLVE staff. If that weren't enough, Dr. Amato utilized RESOLVE's Coverage at Work materials to gain infertility insurance coverage for employees at her institution. She also participates in federal Advocacy Day. True to the Risa A. Levine Advocacy Legacy Award's description, she encourages her patients and fellow healthcare professionals to participate in our community's advocacy work.
