Disrupt & Innovate

Infertility and reproductive health are already emotionally overwhelming—so why has fertility care become so financially complex and inequitable? In this episode of Disrupt & Innovate, Lisa L. Levy welcomes Mary Fusillo, CEO and founder of Family Solutions International, to unpack the hidden costs of infertility care, the realities families face inside fertility clinics, and what it will take to bring more equity to reproductive health.

With more than 25 years of experience, Mary shares her journey from healthcare professional to entrepreneur and advocate, and explains how families are forced to make high-stakes decisions under intense emotional pressure—often while navigating confusing options, rising medication costs, and unequal access to quality care. She also breaks down the growing influence of private equity in fertility clinics and questions whether expensive “innovations” have meaningfully improved success rates.

This is a powerful conversation about healthcare inequity, the need for better emotional support and mentorship, and why human connection matters just as much as technology in the fertility journey.
