Peri-Natal Hospice
What is Perinatal Hospice?
Perinatal hospice is an innovative and compassionate model of support for parents who have received a prenatal diagnosis indicating their baby has a life-limiting condition and might die before or shortly after birth. As prenatal testing continues to advance, more families are finding themselves in this heartbreaking situation. Perinatal hospice provides specialized support from the time of diagnosis through the baby’s birth and potential death. Perinatal care helps parents embrace the life of their baby, before and after birth.
Who is eligible for perinatal hospice?
Any woman who receives a life-limiting prenatal diagnosis from a medical provider is eligible for perinatal hospice. Extended family members and support people are also welcome and encouraged to attend appointments.

Miscarriage Care
Services Provided:
Miscarriage is the sudden loss of a pregnancy before the 20th week. At Women's Choice Center, we know that about 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to Mayo Clinic. It can be scary and devastating when a woman is told that she will miscarry. Many times, she is told to go home until her body responds fully to the process. She can be confused, not knowing what to do and experiencing a roller-coaster of emotions.
We are here to help.
Women’s Choice Center's Miscarriage Care is a bereavement service for women who are experiencing or have recently experienced pregnancy loss.
We provide local OB offices with inconspicuous bags for their patients who will be miscarrying. The supplies in these bags will help a woman going through the loss by giving comfort and dignity to her baby. We can also connect our clients with a professional counselor who can help them through their healing journey.
