For that reason, creating more locations closer to patients’ homes is part of our strategy of providing the best care possible.”

The new location offers fertility consultations for patients in the Greater Lowell area and diagnostic services at Lowell General’s main campus in Lowell.  In vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures – which include egg retrievals, embryo transfers and embryo cryopreservation – will continue to be performed at RSC’s centrally located Lexington, Mass. office.

“Our community relies on Lowell General Hospital for innovative care and expertise,” says Normand E. Deschene, CEO and President of Lowell General Hospital. “Welcoming Reproductive Science Center to our suburban campus is part of our continued commitment to providing convenient access to advanced levels of women’s health and maternal care. “
