New Fertility Clinic Opens
Three SIU faculty physicians and three senior laboratory staff
members will work at the center, which will deal exclusively with
fertility and in vitro fertilization.
It's called the SIU Fertility and IVF Center and will also offer
an egg-donation and surrogacy program.
School officials say staff at the newly-constructed $2.5 million
building will have access to latest technologies and robotic
instruments available.
For instance, the center has a highly-specialized
air-purification system.
The center's medical director Dr. Gary Horowitz says one in
every nine couples has troubles conceiving.
