This week is National Infertility Awareness Week.

U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko is working to highlight the critical importance of protecting access to in-vitro fertilization and other forms of fertility treatment.

Tonko made a visit Tuesday to CNY Fertility Albany.

He is pushing for the passage of the access to the Family Building Act.

Under the proposed law, people are guaranteed the right to access assisted reproductive technology, and health care providers and insurers also have the right to provide and cover these services.
