Kindbody Opens State-of-the-Art Fertility Clinic in Newport Beach

Leading Fertility Clinic Network and Family-Building Benefits Provider Opens in Orange County to Meet Accelerated Demand for Fertility and Family-Building Care

NEW YORK, June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kindbody, the leading national fertility clinic network and global family-building benefits provider for employers, today announced the opening of a state-of-the-art clinic at 4321 Birch Street in Newport Beach, CA. The company will add an in vitro fertilization (IVF) lab this summer. Kindbody Newport Beach was built to meet the growing demand for comprehensive fertility and family-building benefits by local employers. Kindbody serves 121 employers, with 84 employer clients in the greater Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim metro area, and more than 3.1 covered lives with more than 75,000 local employees in the area. Kindbody Newport Beach is led by Dr. Lauren W. Sundheimer, a double-board certified fertility specialist in both reproductive endocrinology and obstetrics and gynecology.

Kindbody has already served thousands of patients with care out of its mobile fertility clinic, which opened last year in Newport Beach. "Since setting up our mobile fertility clinic last fall we've seen unprecedented demand from local employers who understand the critical role fertility benefits play in attracting and retaining world-class talent and building inclusive workplaces," said Annbeth Eschbach, CEO of Kindbody. "We're excited to permanently join the Newport Beach community who have embraced us beyond our expectations with more than 100 appointments booked before opening day."

Since its founding in late 2018, Kindbody has revolutionized the fertility landscape in the United States and positioned itself as the category leader for world-class affordable and accessible fertility and family-building care. Kindbody's model is unique in that it is the only family-building benefits provider for employers that is also in the provision of care serving patients in its 35 state-of-the-art fertility clinics nationwide. The company saves employers 25%-30% by contracting with them directly to provide comprehensive virtual and in-person care to their employees. As the direct provider of care, Kindbody is uniquely positioned to decrease cost, improve the patient experience, and deliver industry leading health outcomes.

Dr. Sundheimer has served patients in Newport Beach for four years. "As a reproductive endocrinologist, I'm deeply passionate about helping individuals and couples achieve their dreams of starting or growing their families," said Dr. Sundheimer. "I've found it incredibly rewarding serving our local Kindbody patients this past year. Opening this new state-of-the-art clinic and lab will allow us to continue to serve the Newport Beach community with world-class fertility care for years to come."
