Oakwood Friends School, Enlightened Education

Follow the Hudson River 90 miles north of New York City and you will find Oakwood Friends School nestled on a picturesque 60-acre campus in the Hudson Valley, offering both upper-school (grades 9-12) and lower-school (grades 5-8) programs, day and boarding. Founded in 1796, Oakwood remains true to its founding principles that students learn best within a diverse and inclusive community dedicated to collaboration, social responsibility and highest academic standards.

Sara Sandstrom is Oakwood’s Dean of Students and Residential Life. She relates that “after twelve years working professionally in Residence Life at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Smith College, I was pleased four years ago to have moved to the Dean of Students role at Oakwood. This community welcomed my family (including my wife, two children, and menagerie of pets) in a way that I could not have anticipated. I appreciate the total inclusion that my family and I have felt at Oakwood, the visibility of same-sex parents and faculty, and the welcoming environment for our trans and LGBQ students, both boarding and day.”

For Over 30 Years, Family Building Has Been Our Family Business

Cryobio is committed to getting it right when it comes to serving members of the LGBTQ+ community. This past November, we hosted Equitas Health Institute at our main offices in Columbus, Ohio. They delivered a training session to us on providing culturally humble and competent care so we can better serve the community. The knowledge we gained in one afternoon was beyond what we could have imagined. Our goal at Cryobio is and has always been, to provide members of the LGBTQ+ community with a welcoming and safe space during their journey to parenthood. This training provided insight into the harsh realities that many members of the LGBTQ+ community face on their path to becoming parents. The individuals who led our training were incredible and honest sharing their own personal stories, as well as other stories of people who were treated unacceptably by physicians, nurses, lab techs, or receptionists when they walked through the doors of a clinical practice looking for care. The actions and behaviors in these stories were heartbreaking to hear and made us even more determined to make sure we are providing the best care to the LGBTQ+ community.
