Starting a family is a deeply personal journey, often marked by both hope and uncertainty. For many, the dream of parenthood comes with unexpected challenges—both emotional and financial. In these moments, meaningful support from an employer can make a powerful difference, turning obstacles into opportunities and helping families grow with confidence.
At Ochsner, Progyny’s Fertility and Family Building Benefits help support team members with care, guidance, and resources when they need them most. For Lynzee G., an IS Epic supervisor at Ochsner, that support made all the difference.
A Life-Changing Benefit
For Lynzee and her wife, fertility coverage was not just helpful. It was essential.
“Simply put, my wife and I would not have been able to start a family if I did not have access to infertility coverage,” Lynzee said. “This has been a life-changing benefit that many employers do not offer.”
Her story highlights the real value of comprehensive fertility benefits. For employees who are navigating infertility or other family-building challenges, access to coverage can remove major barriers and make the dream of parenthood feel possible.
Support That Goes Beyond Coverage
While infertility coverage played a central role in Lynzee’s journey, it was not the only benefit that shaped her experience. She also pointed to paid parental leave and the Employee Assistance Program as important parts of the support she received as an Ochsner employee.
Together, these benefits helped support both practical and emotional needs during a major life stage. Fertility and family-building journeys often bring stress, uncertainty, and big decisions. Having a strong support system through the workplace can help employees feel seen, cared for, and better prepared for what comes next.
For Lynzee, that support sent a clear message.
“I feel like our physical and mental health are a priority to the leaders of this organization,” she said.
Supporting Meaningful Life Stages
Lynzee’s experience is a powerful example of how thoughtful benefits can have a lasting impact. With access to Progyny’s Fertility and Family Building Benefits, she and her wife were able to take a step that once felt out of reach and begin building their family.
Stories like hers remind us that benefits can shape more than the employee experience. They can shape lives.
Comprehensive fertility benefits play an essential role in supporting employees through meaningful life stages and helping make family building possible.
