As the fallout widens, patients uncover troubling new information about who was providing their care. Their discoveries trigger a wave of questions — and draw the attention of both state regulators and criminal investigators.

As the fallout widens, patients uncover troubling new information about who was providing their care. Their discoveries trigger a wave of questions &mdash; and draw the attention of both state regulators and criminal investigators.

What Happened in Nashville is a deeply reported investigation into the sudden collapse of a Tennessee fertility clinic, and the patients caught in the fallout. When the Center for Reproductive Health shut down without warning, people lost access to their embryos, their treatments were abruptly cut off, and many were left scrambling to recover money, medical records, and time they couldn’t afford to lose.  

Through intimate conversations with the patients who lived through it, host Melissa Jeltsen reveals the emotional and physical toll of the clinic’s abrupt closure. But the story reaches far beyond a single clinic. The series exposes the cracks in a fertility industry built on hope, high price tags and minimal oversight. What Happened in Nashville isn’t just the story of one tragedy — it’s a warning about a system where families have everything at stake and far too little protection.
