At Kindbody, every decision we make begins with a simple principle: patients and their reproductive tissue come first.
For many patients, frozen eggs, embryos, sperm, and other reproductive tissue represent future possibilities, family-building goals, and deeply personal investments. Protecting those tissues is a responsibility we take seriously.
As fertility care continues to evolve, so too must the infrastructure that supports patients throughout their journey. That’s why Kindbody has partnered with New England Cryogenic Center (NECC), a leading provider of long-term cryogenic storage services, to further strengthen the protection, security, and long-term stewardship of reproductive tissue entrusted to our care.
Why Specialized Long-Term Storage Matters
Across healthcare, organizations increasingly rely on specialized partners to provide highly focused expertise and infrastructure. Fertility care is no exception.
Many fertility centers and reproductive health organizations have adopted dedicated long-term cryostorage partnerships as part of their commitment to patient safety, specimen protection, and long-term operational excellence. These specialized facilities are designed specifically for the preservation and management of reproductive tissue, with advanced monitoring systems, robust security controls, disaster recovery planning, and operational teams focused exclusively on long-term storage.
By partnering with a dedicated cryostorage provider, Kindbody is aligning with this growing industry approach while enhancing the long-term protection of reproductive tissue for the patients we serve.
A Commitment to Patient and Tissue Safety
“Our responsibility is to do what is right for patients and what is most protective of their tissue,” said Dr. Amber Cooper, Chief Medical Officer of Genomics and Laboratory Science at Kindbody. “Every decision surrounding storage is guided by patient safety, tissue security, and preserving future family-building options.”
Dedicated cryostorage facilities provide additional safeguards designed to support long-term specimen preservation, including continuous monitoring, chain-of-custody controls, specialized storage infrastructure, and enhanced disaster recovery capabilities.
As natural disasters, infrastructure risks, and evolving regulatory environments continue to impact healthcare organizations nationwide, dedicated long-term storage facilities offer an additional layer of protection designed to safeguard reproductive tissue for years to come.
Kindbody selected NECC because of its long-standing experience in cryogenic specimen management, operational stability, and shared commitment to patient and tissue safety.
Supporting the Future of Fertility Care
This partnership also enables Kindbody clinics and laboratory teams to focus on what they do best: helping patients build families.
By leveraging dedicated long-term storage resources, Kindbody can continue investing in:
- Advanced embryology and laboratory technologies
- Innovation in embryo development
- Expanded laboratory capabilities
- Active treatment cycles and patient care
- Clinical excellence and improved patient outcomes
This approach allows our laboratory teams to dedicate more resources to patients actively undergoing treatment while ensuring long-term stored tissue remains protected in facilities purpose-built for preservation.
A Thoughtful Long-Term Strategy
Our decision to partner with NECC was guided by several important considerations:
- Enhanced long-term specimen protection
- Specialized cryogenic storage expertise
- Robust disaster recovery and business continuity capabilities
- Geographic and regulatory stability for reproductive healthcare
- Additional transport protections and oversight
- Long-term cost management and sustainability
Most importantly, the partnership reflects our commitment to making decisions that prioritize patients and their future family-building goals.
“Patients trust us with some of the most important assets they will ever have—their future family-building options,” said David Stern, CEO at Kindbody. “This partnership is an investment in the infrastructure, expertise, and long-term protections necessary to preserve that trust while allowing our clinical teams to remain focused on providing exceptional care.”
Looking Ahead
As reproductive healthcare continues to advance, Kindbody remains committed to delivering accessible, affordable, and high-quality fertility care while continuously strengthening the systems that support our patients.
Our partnership with NECC represents an important step forward in that commitment—combining clinical excellence, specialized expertise, and a patient-first approach to help protect reproductive tissue and support families for years to come.
Because when it comes to preserving future possibilities, protecting what matters most will always remain our highest priority.
