IFCS is based on the desire to promote the health of women, men, and families. We promote a cooperative approach to fertility, including family planning without drugs and devices, and addressing infertility or gynecologic health problems based on understanding and supporting natural reproductive function. The central purpose of our organization is to provide and support scientifically sound and professional services in health care based on our core values.

We offer professional instruction in the Creighton Model FertilityCare™ System (CrMS) and related services. We also intend to encourage and coordinate communication and cooperation among FertilityCare Practitioners, teachers of other methods of natural family planning (NFP), physicians, health professionals, and other interested parties who provide services or support consistent with our core values.

IFCS is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. Our commitment is to make fertility care services available to all regardless of ability to pay.

The core values of IFCS are:

(1) Sexuality and fertility are an integral part of the human person, and should always be treated in a way that enhances the dignity and integrity of the individual and of the family.

(2) Reproductive health care should be based on respecting, and where necessary, restoring the normal functioning of the human reproductive system, rather than suppressing or bypassing it.

(3) The intrinsic value of human life must be respected from conception (fertilization) through natural death.
