Each year, National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) holds deep meaning for all of us at Progyny, our employer clients, our provider partners, and our members. It\u2019s a time to reflect on the journeys of the 1 in 6 people globally who face infertility and to recommit to the work we do every day to support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These journeys are often silent and deeply emotional, which is why visibility, compassion, and access to care matter so much. It\u2019s also a time to celebrate the resilience and strength of the individuals on their paths to parenthood, as well as the incredible people who work tirelessly to increase access to fertility treatment and family building care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I\u2019ve worked in healthcare my entire career, I can attest to the fact that women\u2019s health brings a unique sense of community. For NIAW 2025, we stood alongside our partners and advocates to shine a light on this medical condition in new and powerful ways, and to have unified action for increasing care access and getting people the support they need and deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Uplifting the Community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This was my second year being a part of NIAW, and again I was amazed to see how this team was able to activate and honor the infertility community. We kicked the week off by lighting the Empire State Building orange \u2013 the national color of infertility \u2013 alongside our partners at RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, and infertility influencers and advocates The Pasinis. Illuminating one of the world\u2019s most iconic landmarks is a powerful symbol of visibility, solidarity, and hope for those millions impacted by infertility. It sends a clear message: you are seen, you are supported, and you are not alone. The Pasinis shared what this moment \u2013 and this movement \u2013 means to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
