We look forward to helping all families in their fertility journey, irrespective of their gender or sexual orientation. We strive to offer a comfortable, inclusive and safe experience:
through the training that our teams undergo to best understand gender and sexual identity topics,
by offering support to all patients, including when they are using gender affirming hormones to facilitate conception and sperm production,
by providing third-party (donor and gestational carrier) solutions and reciprocal reproduction solutions,
by ensuring that our conscientiousness of gender and sexual diversity and inclusion is reflected in the make-up of our team.
