Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute is proud to announce its new partnership with LIVESTRONG Fertility, a non-profit organization that’s dedicated to helping cancer patients preserve their fertility. Together, Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute in Hawaii and LIVESTRONG Fertility will provide valuable reproductive information, support, and financial assistance to women who want to preserve their fertility before undergoing medical treatments, like chemotherapy, which can negatively affect female reproductive health.

Fertility preservation gives people diagnosed with cancer the opportunity to have the families they always wanted. Since LIVESTRONG Fertility was founded in 2004, more than 54,000 individuals have received fertility preservation services thanks to financial aid from the organization. Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute has long offered fertility preservation services to its patients, but now is happy to be able to give back to the community by helping cancer patients who can’t afford the necessary procedures and treatments on their own.

Since fertility preservation is still considered an optional medical procedure, most forms of insurance—even if the patient in question is diagnosed with cancer—do not cover it. That’s why organizations like LIVESTRONG Fertility are partnering with reputable fertility clinics like Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute. Together they hope to make fertility preservation available to every woman in Hawaii who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Facing an illness is difficult enough without also worrying about future fertility and reproductive health. If you’ve been recently diagnosed with cancer and you want to take advantage of this partnership, contact the fertility doctors at Pacific In Vitro Fertilization Institute and ask about your infertility treatment options.
