Planning for expansion
A compact board wields a long lever. With enthusiasm, board members met in a fall planning session to review and refresh ten-year growth plans.
Fresnel Shores Foundation’s actions are fostering an ecosystem of fertility care corresponding to the innate dignity of the human person. Growth of the Veranova Health model is a high priority.
Recognizing the impediments to clinic development and the dire need for clinics such as Veranova Health, one of Fresnel Shores Foundation's primary objectives is to provide funding for set-up costs and infrastructure during the initial ramp period of a clinic’s operations.
