U.S. Fertility Clinic Locations and Services, 1,057 Facilities

A 2021 inventory of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) clinics in the United States identified 471 main clinics with embryology labs and 586 satellite clinics, totaling 1,057 locations. The dataset was created by Micajah Z. McGarity of Johns Hopkins University, deriving clinic details from the CDC's 2018 ART Success Rates data. It includes assumed service offerings for clinics where specific details were not listed online.

Use Cases

• Map fertility clinic density and geographic access based on the 1,057 listed locations.
• Analyze the distribution of full-service (main) versus limited-service (satellite) clinics based on the described clinic types.
• Study assumptions about standard service offerings (e.g., consultations, bloodwork, IVF) for clinics with incomplete public data.

Strengths

• Includes a specific count of 1,057 clinic locations, with a breakdown of 471 main and 586 satellite clinics.
• Documents a systematic data collection method using a web form and a specific source (CDC 2018 ART Success Rates).
• Explicitly states assumptions made for missing service details, providing transparency.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the 2018 source data and the January 2021 collection.
