Our Founders
A leading specialist in women’s health for more than 30 years, Robert Homm, M.D., was instrumental in bringing advanced fertility services to the Louisville region. He founded Fertility and Endocrine Associates as Women’s Specialty Center in 1991, and today we are the oldest private infertility practice and in vitro fertilization center in Kentucky. We were also one of the first physicians’ practices to be part of the Norton Women’s Pavilion, located on the campus of Norton Women’s and Children’s Hospital.
An expert in the field of Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility, nurse practitioner Kit Devine, DNP, APRN, joined Dr. Homm at Fertility and Endocrine Associates in 2002 and worked alongside him for nearly 20 years.
Dr. Homm and Dr. Devine helped hundreds of families conceive their family dreams over their many years of practice, and we still hear from many of their grateful patients today. In fact, some of the babies they helped bring into the world are all grown up and starting their own families!
We owe much of our practice’s success to these groundbreaking specialists, and we wish them well in retirement.
