Gianna Center of Philadelphia

A COMMITMENT TO AUTHENTICALLY CATHOLIC, PRO-LIFE  HEALTH CARE

Women's Health Care that honors

the Sanctity of Life,

the Dignity of Women,

and the Sacramental Integrity of Marriage.

The Gianna Center of Philadelphia has been paving the way for the culture of life by providing women and families with natural, ethical, and restorative reproductive healthcare, all of which adhere to best medical science and the ethical teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.  

What this overview of our Gianna Center does not capture is the human dimension of our work — the heartache many faithful Catholic women experience when they go to doctors who not only discount but mock their desire to manage their health and fertility care in accordance with the ethical guidelines of the Church; the married couples suffering from infertility who are told that their only option is in vitro fertilization.  These are the human faces behind our mission, the women and families who are truly ‘on the peripheries’ of our culture, and they inspire us every day to continue to provide healthcare that honors the entirety of the human person, made in the image and likeness of God, with God as our witness.

Our Catholic, Pro-Life Services:

General Gynecologic Care - for women of all ages and stages of their reproductive lives

• For Adolescents: restorative reproductive medicine for any women's health problem, including painful or irregular cycles.

• For Child-bearing years: pro-life infertility treatment; safe, virtue-based alternatives to birth control and IUDs.

• For Menopausal and Postmenopausal years: treatment for annoying symptoms during the change of life.

Natural Family Planning Education - Creighton Model FertilityCare System™ (CrMS)

We instruct our patients in the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System: the only standardized system of charting a woman's cycle that can be used clinically as a diagnostic tool, the foundation of NaProTechnology.

CrMS allows:

• Identification of the underlying causes of infertility or cycle problems.

• Identification of time of ovulation and fertile period in order to successfully achieve or avoid a pregnancy according to a married couple's unique needs.

• Fertility-focused intercourse allows 98.5% of couples of normal fertility to achieve a pregnancy within six months. When used to avoid pregnancy, the method is 99.5% effective

Pro-Life Infertility Treatment - NaProTechnology (natural procreative technology)

• Repairs the underlying cause of reproductive disorder; can also successfully address male infertility.
