Catholic healthcare is pro-woman.
They Cared for Me
Catholic healthcare serves women.
For hundreds of years, Catholic hospitals and healthcare providers have provided excellent care to women.
Catholic healthcare provides
the highest level of care for women facing difficult or challenging pregnancies.
Catholic healthcare systems provide free and low-cost care to marginalized women every day.
In rare cases, and in the absence of better alternatives, life-threatening maternal health conditions may require interventions.
When a woman’s life is at risk in pregnancy, preterm delivery may be used as a lifesaving medical intervention to preserve the life of both mother and child.
Catholic hospitals and providers ensure that these surgeries and treatments are available to women in need.
Women can trust Catholic healthcare.
Women facing miscarriage or ectopic pregnancies can have confidence that they will receive outstanding, compassionate care.
Ectopic pregnancies result when an embryo implants outside the uterus—often in the fallopian tube.
Sadly, such embryos cannot survive and this condition can pose serious risks to the mother. While ectopic pregnancies sometimes resolve naturally, interventions are often necessary.
Ethical interventions include the removal of the damaged fallopian tube containing the embryo or, if embryo death has already occurred, medication can be used to resolve the ectopic pregnancy.
Catholic healthcare benefits women and children's health.
Catholic healthcare serves the dignity of both mother and child. It never forces a mother to choose between her health and the life of her child.
