The birth of your baby is one of the most significant events in your life and choosing the right place to begin this special journey is one of the most important decisions you and your family will make. The Maternal Child Center at St. Catherine Hospital opened in March 2003 and is designed to ensure the experience is as comfortable and memorable as possible for everyone, including room for dad to spend the night and for siblings and grandparents to visit.

Maternal Child Center offers 12 Labor Delivery Recovery Postpartum suites and the finest medical technology and expertise available. Although most babies are born healthy we also recognize that some new babies have very special needs.

Our Level II Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NBICU) offers state-of-the-art technology and services to ensure that newborns with high-risk complications get the best opportunity for a healthy life.

In addition to the services offered for mom and baby we offer special classes for families and siblings to help prepare them for the arrival of the newest member of the family. The associates at St. Catherine Hospital work together to provide outstanding healthcare services for you and your family.

Fertility Care Clinic

The Fertility Care Clinic at St. Catherine Hospital is opening the door to fertility care options with innovative, moral solutions to infertility that are not typically available through mainstream medical practices. The clinic specializes in fertility care services that allow Catholic medical centers to work in collaboration with their Archdioceses to offer a fertility care program that follows the healing ministry of Jesus Christ. The Creighton Model FertilityCare System and NaPro Technology are offered at the clinic and administered by a professional specially trained and certified by the American Academy of Fertility Care Professionals.

The Creighton Model FertilityCare System and the new women's health science of NaPro Technology have been developed through a research and education effort coordinated and directed by Thomas W, Hilgers, MD, director of Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and clinical professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Creighton University Medical Center.

The Creighton Model FertilityCare System provides comprehensive, professional services through individualized follow-up, standardized teaching tools and ongoing research. The Creighton Model is a medically standardized modification of the Billings Ovulation Method. It is the only education program in this field that meets the education demands of a newly emerging allied health profession and provides a case management approach to teaching.

NaProTechnology focuses on finding the cause of infertility based on techniques used in the CrMS to teach women how to look for and record biomarkers to manage gynecological health. It is embraced by the Catholic Church as a highly effective and morally acceptable approach to infertility.
