Tepeyac Family Center and its corporate parent, Divine Mercy Care, are at the cutting edge of a renaissance in Catholic health care. We are providing this panel of experts as an education resource for some of the practical questions that clergy, physicians, and patients have concerning women’s heath issues. We hope over time to expand this to a broader range of issues in the future. “Ask our experts” is not intended specific medical information on a condition in which you have, but to provide generic tools which may steer you toward some help. Our questions will be collected and then passed to an appropriate individual for a response. They will then be posted on the website (anonymously) for others to see.
