Consulting

Every system is exquisitely designed to produce the results that it gets.

Past successes.

Boston IVF Training Series

Renown fertility center Boston IVF wanted to ensure that all staff members, across all locations, shared the same information, language, and skills for including LGBTQ+ patients into their work. Collaborate built a three-chapter online training module to standardize this learning, featuring leaders from Boston IVF sharing their commitment to inclusion.
Main Line Fertility Website Revamp

Main Line Fertility has always been dedicated to supporting the LGBTQ community, and their website needed an update to represent that dedication even more fully. Collaborate audited their entire web presence, rewriting language so every aspect of the site is now fully inclusive. Collaborate also built a new structure for the site and wrote the content for a brand-new LGBTQ section, seamlessly guiding prospective patients through their fertility options.
