We’re proud to be on the leading edge of female reproductive medicine with two unique women’s health services: the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System and NaProTECHNOLOGY™. These services provide women with a natural, restorative and scientifically based approach to improving health and respecting fertility.

The Gianna Center treatments for women’s health disorders are holistic and include:

Gabriel’s Courage—Catholic Health's family-centered perinatal program—assists expectant parents who have received a prenatal diagnosis of a life-limiting illness such as anencephaly, severe chromosomal anomalies, inoperable cardiac abnormalities or Potter’s syndrome.

Obstetricians, registered nurses, social workers, chaplains, child life specialists and bereavement specialists work together to offer compassionate support, education and birth planning services.

Through the development of a birth plan, parents are able to determine the care they want for their baby and make decisions for their newborn prior to birth. An important component of the program is taking memory-building photos, footprints and handprints, reaffirming the precious life of this special infant.

For more than a year after the child’s birth, the team will remain in contact with the family to help bridge the feelings of loss while validating the role of the parents.

Pre-menstrual

The reproductive system is quiet during infancy and childhood. But symptoms may still occur that require medical attention. Late childhood is an excellent time to introduce girls to their fertility cycle and the ways their bodies will soon be changing.
 

Understanding menstruation

Adolescents face a new set of challenges as menstruation begins. Young teens should be prepared for these changes through education. Learning about and tracking their ovulation cycles, as well as potential problems that can arise, is empowering.

Natural Family Planning and Monitoring Health

Gianna offers the Creighton Model to help women monitor and understand their cycles. This knowledge supports both avoiding pregnancy and improving chances with conception. The Creighton chart can also be used as a health monitor for single women and teens.

Pre-conception counseling

For those considering having a child, pre-conception counseling is beneficial to make sure that one prepares the body, both physically and mentally for pregnancy. 

Reproductive problems

There may be physical issues that can prevent successful pregnancy. There are medical treatments and/or minimally invasive surgical interventions that may resolve such problems.

Infertility 

Gianna follows a unique approach to improve success with conception. NaProTechnology is an approach that identifies and addresses the underlying causes of infertility.
 

Premenopause, perimenopause, menopause

Complications can occur as women’s cycles start to change and move into the menopausal stage. Symptoms can be significant enough to impact quality-of-life and benefit from treatments. An assessment can be done to determine if natural hormonal supplementation or other approaches would minimize symptoms.
 

General women's health issues

Women can experience issues that differ over the course of their life. In the later stages, assessments can include urogynecology, osteoporosis screening and heart health.
