Meet our founders
Davina Fankhauser
Co-Founder and Executive Director
Davina Fankhauser is a leading national expert in policies related to fertility treatment and preservation benefits. Through her work with Fertility Within Reach, she advises patients, healthcare professionals, and advocates on effectively engaging insurers, employers, and legislators to expand access to reproductive healthcare. Her evidence-based strategies are regularly featured at major patient and professional conferences.
Davina’s career includes leadership roles as Advocacy Director for AllPaths Family Building and as Online Services Manager at RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. She made history as the first woman and non-medical professional elected President of the New England Fertility Society, where she continues to serve on the board. She also contributes to the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center NICU Parent Advisory Council and the American Bar Association Family Law Section Legislative Committee, and is an active member of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine and the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology.
Her advocacy is deeply personal. After a decade-long struggle with infertility and the financial barriers to treatment, Davina transformed her pain into purpose. Her mission is to change policy so no one is denied the opportunity to build a family due to lack of coverage—a mission that continues to fuel her every effort.
Sandra O’Keefe
Co-Founder
Sandra is a Certified Wellness Coach and Healthcare Professional with experience in chronic disease management, health and wellness coaching, regulatory processes, quality assurance, contract development, implementation, and compliance. She is recognized as a perseverant and multifarious individual with high standards of quality and integrity.
Sandra has been an infertility advocate for twelve years. She previously served as the Vice President on the Resolve of New England Board of Directors. She has lobbied at the Massachusetts State House and testified before legislative committees on the need for infertility insurance coverage changes. Sandra has participated in RESOLVE’s Annual National Advocacy Day, where she has traveled to Washington, DC, to meet with state senators and house representatives on the need for nationwide infertility insurance coverage and adoption tax credit.
Fortunate to live in the state of Massachusetts, where an insurance mandate for infertility treatment exists, Sandra was able to utilize benefits to access treatment and is the proud mother of two children. One of her major passions is connecting people in the infertility world with one another using the Internet, especially through social media channels.
