WASHINGTON (PRWEB)
The collective efforts of Shady Grove Fertility's (SGF) physicians Drs.
Due to their collective efforts to change policy, on
"I am incredibly proud to be part of this collaborative effort to change policy that directly benefits not just Shady Grove Fertility patients but all patients. The desire to have a family is almost innate for most, and for those whose heads are still reeling with the emotion and confusion that often comes following a cancer diagnosis, to have to grapple with whether or not to also afford the cost of fertility preservation treatment, seems exceptionally challenging and unfair. Patients can now preserve their fertility without having to worry about the financial burden so they can one day have the family they always dreamed of," says
"The passing of this bill will enable half of the patients who haven't been able to receive treatment to date to receive treatment, and that gives people the potential to have families that otherwise wouldn't," says
SGF has a specially trained team devoted specifically to people with cancer. The practice works directly with a patient's oncology team to ensure they expedite fertility preservation so that cancer treatment is not delayed. Known as the SGF Oncofertility Team, this team helps guide each patient through every step of the treatment process. Due to the time sensitivity that comes with a cancer diagnosis, patients can expect an expedited treatment plan and to see a physician for consultation almost immediately.
