SOUTH OGDEN, UTAH – In recognition of National Infertility Awareness Week (NIAW) in April, Wellnest Fertility, a Utah-based fertility clinic, is launching an IVF Grant Program to help alleviate one of the greatest challenges facing fertility patients—financial burden.
The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) highlights that women without insurance coverage for IVF are three times more likely to stop treatment after just one cycle compared to those with insurance. Another study found that approximately 25% of patients discontinue fertility treatments because of out-of-pocket costs.*
As part of its mission to make fertility care accessible, Wellnest will award up to $2,000 in financial assistance to 25 eligible patients pursuing IVF. These grants are designed to support those who are paying out of pocket and ready to take the next step, but face cost as a major hurdle. In February, President Trump acknowledged the obstacles to IVF by signing an executive order to make IVF more accessible and affordable.
“At Wellnest, we believe accessibility goes beyond geography—it’s about making care financially attainable, too,” said Heather West, CEO of Wellnest Fertility. “Far too many patients delay or postpone treatment due to cost. This grant program is one way we’re working to remove that barrier and help more people build their families.”
Program Highlights:
- Grants of up to $2,000 for self-pay IVF patients
- Part of a broader initiative to increase access to fertility treatment in Ogden, Utah and surrounding areas
This initiative aligns with larger conversations around healthcare affordability and the growing need for inclusive fertility solutions. Wellnest leadership is available for interviews, and stories can also include patient perspectives on how financial support impacts treatment decisions.
