A spokesperson for UW Health — which operates multiple hospitals in the Madison area — told the Cap Times that the health group has heard concern from patients who aren’t sure how the ruling in Alabama may affect access to fertility treatment elsewhere in the country.
“According to the medical director of UW Health Generations, patients have been inquiring about any risk to having their embryos stored and potentially losing their ability to choose what to do with them,” Sara Benzel, a spokesperson for UW Health, wrote in an email to the Cap Times.
