Danbury, CT (PRWEB) October 09, 2014
Reproductive Medicine Associates of Connecticut (RMACT) is launching fertiFamilia, a special program for individuals and couples who are most comfortable discussing their medical care in Spanish. fertiFamilia has a complete fertility team that addresses the medical, financial, logistical and cultural needs of Spanish-speaking fertility patients. The program is the first of its kind in Connecticut; the team includes:
- Dr. Shaun C. Williams, Board-certified Reproductive Endocrinologist
- Angela P. Rojas, Program Coordinator and Patient Navigator
- Carmon Ramos, Front Desk Receptionist, Team Leader
- Jennifer Oliveras, Medical Assistant
- Beatrice Abshire, Financial Services Representative
- Nancy Gil, Laboratory Technician
The fertiFamilia team will dedicate a full day to seeing Hispanic patients at RMACT’s Danbury office twice a month, as well as appointments throughout the month at RMACT’s Norwalk, Danbury and Trumbull locations. As an additional service, RMACT has partnered with Mandell’s Pharmacy, whose Spanish-speaking pharmacists and fertility coordinators are available to help patients with their infertility medications in their primary language.
“It is important for every patient to feel comfortable and confident with their infertility treatment plan,” says Dr. Williams, a fertility expert at RMACT. “One of the primary goals is to empower Hispanic patients to learn about their diagnosis, treatment plan and medications in a language they are comfortable with.”
As an additional resource, RMACT’s website is fully translated into Spanish by clicking on the Spanish flag at http://www.rmact.com. Launched in 2013, this website contains over 100 pages of information about infertility, treatments and even a glossary of infertility terms, all written in Spanish. Like RMACT’s main website, this website has a section that outlines what new patients can expect during their first visits, including a consultation with a reproductive endocrinologist and diagnostic testing. It also describes a range of treatment options, ranging from non-invasive paths such as nutrition counseling to sophisticated procedures such as vitro fertilization (IVF) and Comprehensive Chromosome Screening (SelectCCS).
