Ashley Block
Case Manager
As a Surrogacy Case Manager with GSHC since 2020, I've found my calling in helping others navigate the beautiful and complex journey of surrogacy. With personal experience in the surrogacy process since 2019 and completing three journeys of my own, I bring a deep understanding and empathy to my role. Born and raised in California, I've since moved to Idaho, where I enjoy reading, fishing, camping, and cherishing moments with my little family.
Being a Case Manager has been the best career change I have ever made. I get to help both experienced and first-time surrogates through their journeys by making sure they have everything they need, as well as checking in with them on an emotional level to make sure they are doing well. I like to connect with GCs on a personal level and treat them as if they are my family, and with me being a surrogate, I can share my experience to let them know I understand what they are/will be going through.
I help our surrogates every step of the way from making appointments, helping them understand what medications they will be taking, what test they will be doing and why they are important, to sending them something sweet because they need a pick-me-up. Surrogacy can seem scary for those who have never done it and I want every surrogate to know I am there to help them with anything. I personally would want someone there every step of the way for me, that’s why I am available to them whenever they need me. Our team at GSHC is very dedicated to making sure our GCs, IPs, and EDs are taken care of and know we are there for them.
