Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute was established in March 1985, when our clinic began screening and seeing patients with infertility problems. From a group of 25 couples who were the first seen at the clinic, Hawaii’s first in vitro child was born in December 1985. The birth was front-page news in Hawaii, and baby Jacquelyn and her parents were celebrities.
Today, Jacquelyn is a healthy, vibrant young woman, who’s well rounded with a love for life. “Jacquelyn has always known how she was conceived; she knows she is Hawaii’s first test tube baby. But I don’t think she really understands how far-fetched it was for us to have her,” as her mother tells the newspaper. Her parents had tried unsuccessfully to have a baby for five years.
By 1997, Dr. McNamee’s work at Pacific In Vitro Institute had helped bring 600 babies into the world, including his own grandchildren. And he had made the cover of MidWeek newspaper for his efforts. As Dr. McNamee says “Couples with fertility problems should know that they’re not alone. There’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”
