EVMS & SGF Jones Institute

In 1981, the first baby conceived via in vitro fertilization was born thanks to the pioneering efforts of the Howard and Georgeanna Jones Institute at EVMS. The Jones Institute became an international leader in clinical and scientific research and trained many prominent physicians and scientists. In 2021, the Jones Institute transitioned all patient care to its affiliated partner Shady Grove Fertility (SGF), a premier fertility center and home to 85,000 babies born. SGF Jones Institute operates on the EVMS campus in Norfolk, Va.
