We've updated our web site!

 

Our new web site is live!  We are excited about the new site, which includes improved navigation.  A key feature is the Get Started page.  The Get Started page is found on our Home page, and here your patients will find information on Requirements, our Fee Schedule, Financial Assistance, Links and Online Payments.

 

We've also made the popular  PAY ONLINE feature easier to find by adding it to the navigation on each page.

 

Check out our mobile site, now more MOBILE friendly!

 

Of course, the sites still contain our Find a Freezing Center pages, where patients can find your clinic by searching in their local areas.

It's Hurricane Season!

RTL - FL and RTL - MN include Storm Shelters

                 

Did you know that both RTL's Florida and Minnesota cryostorage centers include onsite storm shelters?

 

Florida's EF-5 Safe Room, designed by the structural engineers at F-5 Storm Shelters & Safe Rooms, is certified to withstand 330 miles per hour winds, and exceeds all of the F.E.M.A. guidelines as an EF-5 Tornado Safe Room. ReproTech is the only storage facility in the country to go through the expense of installing an EF-5 Hurricane Shelter for the safe keeping of clients' specimens. 

 

Minnesota's F5 Tornado Safe Room, manufactured by DuPont™,

is the only tornado shelter reinforced with Kevlar. The DuPont™ StormRoom™is specially designed to endure wind speeds of up to 250 miles per hour, and meets F.E.M.A. requirements for Category 5

hurricane and F5 tornado shelters.

Safe room shelters are planned for RTL's Nevada and Texas cryostorage centers upon expiration of current building leases.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RTL sponsors Dash for Dads, prostate cancer fundraiser

 

Dash for Dads RTL Team ReproTech's Reno, NV staff and their families participated in the second annual Dash for Dads 5K event held

at the Sparks Marina. The successful event, which raised over $25,000, was  hosted by Cancer Awareness of Nevada, a local non-profit organization that assists families touched by cancer in Northern Nevada. The mission of the event was to increase awareness about prostate cancer and provide resources both for early testing and for financial assistance toward cancer treatment.  Way to go, Team RTL!

 

 

ASCO updates Fertility Preservation guidelines

 

Although no major revisions occurred, clarifications were added to update the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) guidelines on fertility preservation for children and adults with cancer.

 

In summary, the clarifications state that health care providers should discuss the possibility of infertility with adults of reproductive age, or the parents or guardians of children and adolescents, and address fertility preservation as early as possible, before treatment for cancer. Cancer patients should be referred to reproductive specialists for fertility preservation. Cryopreservation of oocytes, sperm, and embryos is considered standard practice.

AMA adopts Fertility Preservation as a policy

 

Last month, the American Medical Association (AMA) voted to support insurance coverage for fertility preservation for cancer patients and began its campaign on this issue.  Thanks to the AMA, for recognizing this important issue.  Read more about the AMA policy.
