June 2024 is the 50th anniversary of Pride in Seattle. In honor and celebration of LGBTQ+ family building, Dr. Shahine welcomes colleagues Dr. Stephanie Rothenberg and Dr. Darcy Broughton to talk about the Center for LGBTQ+ Family Building at Pacific NW Fertility.  Although the fertility community hasn’t always been inclusive and open to all family building options, Pacific NW Fertility (PNWF) has been proudly serving the Queer community since the organization opened its doors in 2005. In 2020, Drs. Rothenberg and Broughton co-founded the Center for LGBTQ+ Family Building at PNWF and they share what makes the Center unique.  ‘It’s more than a website; it’s creating a safe place for all family building journeys with inclusive language, trained team members, and feedback from our patients.’ In this episode you’ll hear: [1:00] LBGTQ+ Pride in Seattle, WA & at PNWF [3:00] Meet Dr. Darcy Broughton  [4:20] Meet Dr. Stephanie Rothenberg [6:15] The LGBTQ Center for Family Building at PNWF [9:59] Learning to care for LGBTQ patients from a fertility standpoint [12:14] Benefits of having a dedicated center for LGBTQ Family Builiding  [19:22] 50 years of Pride in Seattle [21:42] What to look for in a clinic Resources mentioned:  PNWF Center for LGBTQ+ Fertility: pnwfertility.com/center-for-lgbtq-fertility  Stay Up to Date in Fertility News and Events:  Weekly Newsletter Follow @drlorashahine Instagram | YouTube | Tiktok | Her Books
