US Fertility supports National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) with physician-hosted virtual events and educational resources
Los Angeles – US Fertility recognizes National Infertility Awareness Week® (NIAW) by hosting free webinars and Instagram Live sessions from April 24 through April 28, 2023, featuring topics important to reproductive health such as the menstrual cycle, fertility preservation, issues affecting male fertility, and infertility treatments.
NIAW is a yearly initiative 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.
“Building a strong support system and seeking accurate knowledge are crucial on a patient’s family-building journey.” shares SGF physician Steven Gay, M.D. “We are happy to offer educational seminars to help guide you in meeting that goal.”
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) — seek 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.
“Infertility affects 1 in 8 couples,” shares FCI physician Jennifer Hirshfeld-Cytron, M.D. “The good news is that there are options to help almost everyone conceive. We’re here to provide information and resources when you’re ready to take the next step toward growing your family with fertility treatments.”
