Celebrating Exciting Changes at AFCC: A Year of Growth and Innovation
At Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago (AFCC), 2024 has been a year of exciting changes, growth, and milestones. We’re thrilled to share all the developments that have been taking place, and we want to take a moment to thank our patients and partners for their continued support and enthusiasm as we work to enhance fertility care across Chicago and beyond!
July: New IVF Lab Opens in River North
In July, we proudly opened a new office in River North, bringing top-tier fertility services to the heart of downtown Chicago. This new facility is designed to provide greater access to care for patients in the city, with advanced technology and a compassionate team ready to assist in their fertility journeys.
August: New Satellite in Arlington Heights
In August, we transitioned from our Jefferson Park office to a new satellite location in Arlington Heights. With this move, AFCC now operates out of four locations: Gurnee, River North, Downers Grove, and Arlington Heights. This expansion ensures that patients across the Chicagoland area have more convenient access to our fertility services, no matter where they live.
September: Welcoming Dr. Tumi to AFCC
In September, we welcomed Dr. Olutunmike “Tumi” Kuyoro, our newest fertility physician, to the AFCC family. Dr. Tumi works primarily out of our River North location and is now accepting new patients. Her expertise and compassionate approach to fertility care make her an incredible addition to our team, and we are excited to have her on board!
October: Open Houses at River North and Arlington Heights
October brought opportunities to showcase our new spaces to our valued referring providers. We hosted open houses at both our River North and Arlington Heights locations, inviting providers to explore our beautiful new offices. These events were filled with live music, delicious hors d’oeuvres, networking, and the chance to learn more about the fertility services we offer.
December: Patient Reunion Event, Launch of Our New Website, and WGN-TV News Feature
December was a particularly special month at AFCC! We launched our refreshed website, enhancing the patient experience with updated content and new photos that showcase our commitment to exceptional care. In addition, AFCC was featured in a WGN-TV Daytime Chicago segment, where Dr. Catenacci and Dr. Tumi introduced our new River North office and highlighted our comprehensive fertility services. The segment will air on Monday, January 6 from 10 - 11 am CT. This spotlight helped raise awareness of our expanded presence and the full spectrum of care we provide to new and existing patients.
December also brought our "Stepping into Parenthood" patient reunion event at our Gurnee office. This joyful gathering reunited AFCC staff, physicians, and former patients along with their families. Together, we celebrated their journeys with hors d’oeuvres, footprint artwork, and heartfelt conversations, making it a memorable day filled with gratitude and connection.
Looking Ahead
As we head into 2025, we look forward to the official opening of River North’s IVF lab, which will further expand our services. We are committed to continuing our growth, building deeper connections with our community, and supporting families at every step of their fertility journeys.
Thank you to the AFCC community for your ongoing support and trust. We are excited to continue innovating and growing with you in the years to come!
