ARC Fertility has been honored with the 2025 Health Value Award for Fertility & Reproductive Health (Special Fertility), reinforcing its role as a national leader in delivering high-value, inclusive and outcomes-driven fertility solutions.
The world recently crossed a remarkable threshold; more than 10 million babies have been born through assisted reproductive technology (ART) since the first IVF birth in 1978 through 2018. According to a landmark global study led by David Adamson, MD, founder and CEO, ARC Fertility, the estimated number of ART-conceived infants reached between 9.8 and 13 million by the end of 2018, with that total projected to reach 15 million in 2024.
When it comes to fertility, the focus is often placed on women—but male reproductive health is just as vital to family-forming outcomes. This Men’s Health Month, employers have a powerful opportunity to expand their benefits strategy and provide meaningful support to male employees navigating fertility challenges.
The world is entering a new era, not of overpopulation but underpopulation. Fertility rates are dropping below replacement levels in over half of all countries and the consequences are already reshaping economies, healthcare systems and individual lives. The message from the recent IFFS World Congress was unmistakable—we need to act and we need to act now.
June is Pride Month—a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and reaffirm commitments to equity and inclusion. For employers, it’s also a time to reflect on whether their health benefits truly support every employee, including those pursuing parenthood through paths like surrogacy, adoption, donor conception and fertility treatments.
