In 2021, CDC's state data brief (published December 2023) lists 13 ART clinics in Arizona and 3,585 ART procedures for Arizona residents, leading to 1,408 live-birth deliveries and 1,541 live-born infants. Babies conceived with ART were 1.7% of Arizona births, below the national 2.3%. CDC assigns each procedure and birth to the patient's state of residence.

| ART procedures for residents | 3,585 | 246,087 |
| Live-birth deliveries | 1,408 | 91,906 |
| Live-born infants | 1,541 | 97,128 |
| Procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 | 2,222 | 3,250 |

The table holds two different baby counts. The 1,541 infants follow the procedures done for Arizona residents in 2021; the 1,319 are ART babies among the 77,916 infants born in Arizona during 2021.
Arizona had 2,222 procedures per 1 million women aged 15 to 49 in 2021, about two thirds of the national 3,250. With 13 clinics listed, you have room to compare before you commit. The CDC totals describe the state as a whole; they do not tell you which clinic suits your case.
Map to the Positive closes its IVF chapter with the questions to put to your specialist before the first injection. Comparing clinics is easier when every clinic answers the same list:
These questions close Chapter 35 of Map to the Positive, IVF demystified, in Station IV. The chapter walks through the five phases of a cycle and the common myths, and the same station covers when to see a specialist, how to choose a doctor and the treatment ladder.
