The new Oncofertility Consortium website includes an interactive Clinic/Center Map where we are able to highlight our active, and growing, community of National Physicians Cooperative member sites and Global Partners. This map allows patients and clinicians to easily access the contact information for centers in their geographical location to facilitate with patient referrals or programmatic questions.
NPC and Global Partner members are invited to provide information for development of a detailed institutional homepage on the Oncofertility Consortium website to supplement the contact information on the map. NPC members can submit detailed information to Brigid Smith at brigid.smith@northwestern.edu and Global Partners can submit information to Lauren Ataman-Millhouse at lauren.ataman@northwestern.edu
