Conception

Couples seeking to become pregnant can boost their chances of success naturally with Catholic Health’s infertility and natural family planning services.

Our natural family planning system can also assist couples seeking to avoid pregnancy by tracking when they are naturally fertile and infertile.

Free and Confidential Pregnancy Testing

Free pregnancy testing is available at the following locations:

Childbirth

Our childbirth classes prepare expectant moms and dads for the new addition to their family, while our maternity suites at Mercy Hospital of Buffalo and Sisters of Charity Hospital provide the perfect setting for the big day.
