Consulting

Since 1985, the Saint Paul VI Institute’s National Center for Women’s Health (NCWH) has provided services in obstetrics, gynecology, reproductive medicine and surgery for individuals needing regular or high-risk care, all in an environment consistent with Catholic moral principles.

The NCWH provides hope and healing to women and couples who are struggling and suffering with reproductive and gynecological medical issues, issues that are often ignored or undiagnosed in mainstream medicine. We specialize in:

• patient education
• diagnosis
• effective treatment plans

These cooperate with a woman’s natural reproductive cycle. This is accomplished through the breakthrough research developed by Dr. Thomas W. Hilgers, founder and director of the Saint Paul VI Institute, in the Creighton Model FertilityCare System™ and NaProTechnology.

Services of the National Center for Women’s Health

Evaluation and Treatment Programs

In addition to providing general obstetrics and gynecology and gynecologic surgery, the expertise of the National Center for Women’s Health specializes in the provision of care for patients with the following conditions:

Bone Density Screening Program

This program is housed in the National Center’s Adult Bone Density Center. The ongoing commitment to women’s health also encompasses the condition of her bones. It is recommended that a baseline test be performed at age 35.

Reproductive Ultrasound Center

This center of excellence uses state of the art diagnostic ultrasound equipment and techniques, including the latest innovation, 4-D ultrasound. It is staffed by registered diagnostic medical sonographers. This was the first program in the state of Nebraska to be accredited in obstetric and gynecologic ultrasound by the Commission of the American Institute for Ultrasound. Using high frequency sound waves, ultrasound testing provides the physicians with useful information regarding reproductive health and fetal development.

National Reproductive Hormone Laboratory

All of the reproductive hormones are assayed in the Institute’s in-house specialty laboratory. This allows results to be reported promptly and with a high level of accuracy. The monitoring of hormone levels is an extremely important part of reproductive care. Dr. Hilgers has developed specific reference ranges for a woman’s hormone cycle as well as progesterone levels for every week of pregnancy, which differentiates the National Reproductive Hormone Laboratory from others.
