A new resource that can help you on your fertility journey
The pathway to parenthood varies for each individual, and growing your family can cause significant uncertainty and stress. As we highlighted in the benefits Open Enrollment news last fall, there is a resource now available to benefits-eligible employees who may be on that journey: FertilityIQ.
This education platform complements the range of benefits and employee programs Stanford offers so that you can make informed decisions about your physical, emotional, and financial well-being.
