Improving LGBTQ+ Care at Boston IVF

Improving LGBTQ+ Care at Boston IVF

Patient inclusivity, irrespective of sexual orientation or identity, has always been one of Boston IVF’s key values. Dr. Nina Resetkova and Nurse Kris–two members of Boston IVF’s LGBTQ+ Committee–discuss our mission to consistently advance the level of respect and care to patients of all backgrounds.

Education Drives Change
Education is key to our efforts. We are rolling out specialized training modules for our staff to address the unique needs of LGBTQ+ patients. This ensures every team member—from front desk staff to clinicians—provides culturally sensitive care that promotes inclusivity.

Visible Inclusivity
We’ve introduced rainbow lanyards and gender-neutral bathrooms at all facilities to visibly demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity. Additionally, our signage and educational materials are being updated to reflect a broader range of family structures, ensuring all patients see themselves represented.

Continuous Improvement
Feedback from LGBTQ+ patients is crucial in refining our services. By actively listening to our patients, we continue to make necessary changes and improve their fertility care experience. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where every family, in any form, feels supported.

Special Programs for LGBTQ+ Families
We offer specialized programs such as fertility preservation for transgender individuals, partner assisted reproduction for female couples, and egg donation for male couples. Our expert services help LGBTQ+ individuals and couples build the families they dream of.

Moving Forward
Boston IVF remains dedicated to staying current with best practices, ongoing training, and listening to feedback. We believe in evolving with the community to provide top-notch, inclusive fertility care.
