OB-GYNs and pediatricians are vital providers for all genders and families — and yet, depending on where you live, there may not be enough of them to go around.
According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, half of U.S. counties lack a single OB-GYN, while the American Academy of Pediatrics estimates that by 2030, the U.S. will be short on as many as 27,000 pediatricians. The loss of Roe v. Wade has only made the situation worse, with OB-GYN applications dropping by 10% in states with abortion bans, according to the Association of American Medical Colleges.
