Joy Lewin has been a force in the fertility space for decades. Starting her successful career at Organon/Schering-Plough in the early '80s, she's made a big impact at Ferring Pharmaceuticals for the last 12 years as Senior Director, Reproductive Health Business Unit.
It's not just what Joy does to meet the objectives and goals for her employers. It's the impact her ideas and decisions have on the infertility patient. She launched the Ferring HeartBeat Program in 2012, providing Ferring medications at no cost to newly diagnosed cancer patients-affording them the opportunity to freeze eggs prior to starting chemotherapy. Joy was also instrumental in starting the Alliance for Fertility Preservation (AFP) which helps cancer patients access fertility preservation services. Today she serves on the AFP's Board of Directors. Recently, she guided the implementation of the Ferring Fertility House Calls platform driving, fertility awareness and assisting patients an easy entry into treatment.
Joy is a connector, always looking for ways to connect RESOLVE or AFP and other non-profits working to make a difference with people and companies who can help.
