Tennessee AG sues fertility clinic over patient abandonment

Expanding your family, no matter how you get there, is an emotional process. My heart aches for these families who have trusted their dreams and finances to a fertility clinic in Nashville. Hannah McDonald’s relentless pursuit of answers is journalism at its finest and hopefully a new path of hope for the patients caught in this mess.
