WNBA players will get free access to fertility testing services, furthering the leading position of women’s basketball in providing health and family benefits in sports.
Modern Fertility, a San Francisco-based unit of digital health company Ro, will provide hormone tests and fertility support to all players as part of an arrangement organized by Los Angeles Sparks star Nneka Ogwumike, now in her second three-year term as president of the Women’s National Basketball Players Association. She wants to break assumptions that women athletes can’t have kids until they retire.
