Progyny Launches “This is Infertility” Podcast

New York City, April 24, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --                                                                            

Progyny, the leading fertility benefits management company, announced today the launch of its podcast, “This is Infertility.” Each episode is hosted by a different voice who brings their own unique point of view to the complex and ever-changing world of infertility. Our hosts are licensed clinical social workers, patient care advocates, clinical psychiatrists, reproductive endocrinologists, real fertility patients, and others who are experts in the world of fertility. We fuse narrative storytelling with experience and science to give listeners a new perspective on what it’s really like to go through the fertility journey.

To commemorate the debut, three episodes were released today.

Episode #1: National Infertility Awareness Week
For National Infertility Awareness Week, we examine what it’s really like to be infertile in America and we uncover how people can encourage companies, policy makers and health insurance companies to cover fertility treatment.
