The Mercy Women's Center provides education and services to the entire community. Wellness programs, childbirth and parenting classes, lactation services and a variety of support groups are offered, as well as programs aimed at preventing domestic violence and perinatal substance abuse.
Childbirth & Parenting Education
Childbirth preparation and parenting classes are offered not only at the Mercy Women's Center, but at Mercy hospitals as well. Classes offered include healthy pregnancy, childbirth preparation, sibling preparation, breastfeeding, infant care and child safety. Lactation services include group classes, private lactation consults and breast pump sales and rental stations located at most Mercy hospitals.
Perinatal Recovery Network
Through counseling and education, Mercy offers help and hope to mothers and expectant mothers who have suffered from alcohol or drug abuse and are seeking a new start in life.
Mercy FertilityCare Services
Mercy FertilityCare Services offer couples a method of family planning using the Creighton Model. The Creighton Model is sometimes referred to as Natural Family Planning; however, it is not the "rhythm method." It is a modern method of family planning based on scientific research. The Creighton Model is a means through which a couple may effectively achieve or avoid pregnancy. It is not contraception, but rather, true family planning.
