US Fertility will host a series of free webinars and Instagram Live sessions to mark National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW)
NIAW is a yearly initiative in the US founded by RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, to encourage people to act as their own infertility advocates and to educate legislators and the public about the impact of infertility within their community.
SGF partners with RESOLVE to further its mission of broadening awareness of infertility and supporting those facing infertility with compassionate support and information.
SGF physician, Steven Gay, MD said: “Support systems, community, and information are such important assets to those facing barriers to growing their families.
“SGF is proud to provide educational events and foster a community for our patients.”
Throughout the year and especially during NIAW, US Fertility’s partner practices — Fertility Centers of Illinois (FCI), IVF Florida, Reproductive Science Center of the San Francisco Bay Area (RSC), and Shady Grove Fertility (SGF) — seeks to empower patients through educational resources, physician-hosted events, and support groups all aimed at taking the fear out of fertility care and empowering patients.
