The partnership gives Amazon employees and their partners free access to Maven's clinicians.
Women's and family telehealth provider Maven Clinic announced Tuesday that it is partnering with Amazon to bolster the on-line retail giant's healthcare offerings for its full- and part-time employees in 50 countries beyond the U.S. and Canada.
"We're delighted to support Amazonians around the world as they plan and grow their families," Kate Ryder, founder / CEO of New York-based Maven Clinic, says in a media release.
"There are too many barriers to care in healthcare systems that were not built around the needs of women and families, and Amazon is cutting through that complexity by making it exceptionally easy for their employees to access high-quality, personalized care in their own language at any hour of the day or night."
The partnership will give Amazon employees and their partners free access to Maven's board-certified reproductive endocrinologists (fertility doctors), obstetricians, gynecologists, nutritionists, mental health providers, adoption coaches, and other care providers.
Amazon employees can access free local support through a “care advocate” who will help them navigate fertility services, provide referrals, and advise them on local family-building guidelines.
The virtual care is available in 35 languages, using video or message chat with doctors, nurses, coaches, and other experts.
Lian Neeman, global director of benefits at Amazon, says the new offering “takes the guesswork out of the family-building process, which can often be confusing and overwhelming."
"Our benefits are designed to care for all our employees' needs, and that means ensuring they have the resources they need to live their best lives, regardless of their personal circumstances,” Neeman says. “Maven's approach to fertility and family building supports our employees around the world and is tailored to each person."
Countries where Maven is now offered as a free benefit to Amazon employees and their partners:
- Europe: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Poland, Portugal, Norway, Republic of Serbia, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom
