Dr Christy Lane and Laura McDonald, Flora Fertility
As infertility rates climb, so does the demand for fertility coverage.
Simultaneously, Gen-Z and Millennials are looking for more freedom and autonomy outside of work and health benefits
plans.
The need for portable private health coverage, particularly around reproductive health, is paramount – and yet nothing existed until now.
Dr Christy Lane and Laura McDonald created Flora Fertility to answer that demand, ensuring young women can access their own robust fertility benefits through a community driven, risk-sharing model, with coverage extending to partners in the future.
