Monitoring is the part of a cycle that takes up most of your time — 10 to 15 visits over a few weeks, all in person — so a program this close mostly decides how much of that time you spend traveling.

Louisville donors typically earn above the Kentucky state average of $6,000–$10,000. Agencies set donor compensation, not clinics, and more of them recruit in the Louisville metro than across the rest of the state — that competition, plus a higher cost of living, is what lifts the local range.
