The Perinatal Hospice concept has been pioneered by Dr. Byron Calhoun, MD. It is a multi-disciplinary approach to helping families with infants who have fatal or serious birth defects for which late term abortion is sometimes recommended. It is the Life Affirming, Posititive and God-honoring way to care for a baby that will die during birth or shortly thereafter.
Choices Medical Clinic has embraced the Perinatal Hospice approach to dealing with fatal fetal anomolies and has provided this Life Affirming Service for dozens of families.
