A sample finding

From the pilot: women’s health in Florida

Our first report covers OB/GYN care in Florida. Here is one finding, with its chart, as it appears in the report.

Sample · Women’s health (OB/GYN) in Florida · October 2026

Florida has fewer OB/GYNs per woman than all but seven states

Florida has 22.2 OB/GYNs per 100,000 women aged 18 and over, against 25.3 nationally. Measured per birth it is in line with the U.S., so the gap reflects an older female population. Inside the state, supply ranges from 30.6 in Miami–Fort Lauderdale to 14.5 in Deltona–Daytona Beach.

OB/GYNs per 100,000 women 18+ (U.S. 25.3) 22.2

Counties with no OB/GYN practice address 19 of 67

Of OB/GYNs employed by four organizations 45.5%

Bar chart: OB/GYN physicians per 100,000 women aged 18 and over in Florida’s largest metros. Miami–Fort Lauderdale 30.6, Orlando–Kissimmee 29.2, Tampa–St. Petersburg 24.8, Port St. Lucie 22.9, Jacksonville 22.7, North Port–Bradenton 21.1, Cape Coral–Fort Myers 18.1, Lakeland–Winter Haven 17.3, Palm Bay–Melbourne 15.9, outside metro areas 15.6, Deltona–Daytona Beach 14.5. Florida 22.2, U.S. 25.3. — OB/GYN physicians per 100,000 women aged 18 and over, Florida’s largest metros. Tely Health Research, October 2026.

Also in the Florida report

Two private equity backed platforms employ 25.7% of Florida’s OB/GYNs statewide and 48.8% in metro Jacksonville.
83% of OB/GYN practices are independent, but they employ about one in five OB/GYNs (21.5%).
30 new OB/GYN organizations registered in the past 12 months; seven are new entities of groups already operating in the state.
Spanish-language searches for a gynecologist equal 16% of English-language volume in Florida (30% in Miami–Fort Lauderdale). 19% of sampled practice homepages mention Spanish-language service.
AI assistants named a health system or academic center in 79% of 120 answers, though those organizations employ 32% of OB/GYNs.

Sources: CMS Doctors and Clinicians file (released 15 October 2026), NPPES October 2026, U.S. Census Vintage 2024, Google Ads search volumes (October 2026), samples of 3,340 Google listings, 308 practice websites and 120 AI-assistant answers. Counts cover Medicare-enrolled physicians and are lower bounds.

Questions

Questions about the reports

What is a patient access report?

A report on one specialty in one state: how many physicians there are per 100,000 residents and where, who owns the practices (including private equity platforms and health systems), how many new practices opened in the past year, what patients search for online, how practices show up on Google, and which providers AI assistants recommend.

Where does the data come from?

Public federal files: the CMS Doctors and Clinicians file, the NPPES provider registry and U.S. Census population estimates. Search demand comes from Google Ads volumes. The digital access and AI search sections are labelled samples of Google listings, practice websites and AI-assistant answers. Ownership of the largest groups is checked by hand against public sources.

How long does a report take?

Usually about three business days from your request. We email it to you when it is ready.

Can I request a specialty or state that is not listed?

Yes. Choose the closest specialty and add a note. Some specialties have thinner public data; for those we tell you which sections the report can cover before we start.

Can journalists use the figures?

Yes. Every number in a report is footnoted to a public file or a labelled sample. Pick Journalist as your role and tell us what you are working on.
