Progyny Celebrates More Than 30,000 Amazonians Supported on Their Family Building Journeys

Amazon’s comprehensive family building benefit offered through Progyny to be recognized at RESOLVE’s Night of Hope Gala

NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Progyny, Inc. (Nasdaq: PGNY), a leading benefits management company specializing in fertility and family building benefits solutions, today announced their nearly five-year partnership with Amazon has reached a milestone number of more than 30,000 individuals and families being supported on their family building journeys. Since 2019, Amazon has partnered with Progyny to deliver groundbreaking fertility and family building benefits that support their employees across the country. This milestone celebrates the success of their partnership and demonstrates the opportunity for other industry-leading employers to embrace comprehensive benefits that support all employees on their unique family building journeys.

“Now more than ever, employees are looking to their employers for support in all areas of their lives,” said Lian Neeman, Amazon’s global director of benefits. “By offering our U.S. employees and their partners proven, personalized care through Progyny, we reduce anxiety around what can be a confusing and stressful process. We’re excited that so many employees have used and loved our family building benefit.”

When Amazon and Progyny initially partnered in 2019, the concept of fertility benefits was rarely discussed by corporations of any size, and the idea of an employee talking about their family building journey at work remained taboo. Understanding the complexity of the U.S. healthcare system and the challenges of supporting an employer of its size and scale, Amazon tapped Progyny to create a fertility and family building benefit that would meet the diverse needs of Amazon employees across the U.S. Progyny is honored to be Amazon’s continued partner.

“Working with Amazon’s benefits team to deliver a fertility and family building solution that has resulted in new Amazon babies being born every day is nothing short of incredible,” said Pete Anevski, Progyny’s Chief Executive Officer. “Amazon is a prime example of what can be accomplished when a leading employer decides to thoughtfully fill the care gaps left by the U.S. healthcare system and support employees’ dreams of family.”

"Amazon's family building benefits gave me and my wife our beautiful children, and we couldn't be happier," said Phyllis, an operations area manager. "Thanks to our Amazon benefit offering with Progyny, we were able to conceive our babies through an amazing process called reciprocal in vitro fertilization."
