What is the Claris Way?

Although Claris Health has continued to grow and develop, our unique approach to health care has remained the same.

The Claris Way is Patient-Led

- Personal decision-making is respected, valued, and prioritized.
- Patients guide the discussion process through questions about their circumstances, intentions, and how educated they feel in their decision-making.
- Care is tailored to assist the individual and, when welcomed, other members of the family through the decision-making process and beyond.

- Patients are provided time and space to thoroughly explore pregnancy options (parenting, adoption, abortion) and consider the impact of each decision on their life, future, and family.
- Options education and exploration provides clarity to the decision-making process and helps people overcome feelings of entrapment or hasty decision-making.
- As a result, situations that initially appear confusing and hopeless can become catalysts for personal transformation.

- A lack support often drives decision-making. Providing comprehensive and integrated (physical, emotional, spiritual) care for individuals and families, no matter what choice is made, is one practical way to address this lack of support.
- Creating a model that provides opportunities for long-term relationships and care is a critical piece to facilitating whole person care.
- High value is placed on journeying with each person, while the focus remains on education, resources, and support through the decision-making process and in the critical months and years that follow.

- - People should never be defined by a current situation or previous choices.
  - Thoroughly exploring options (parenting, adoption, abortion) and considering the impact of each decision on a person’s future and the long-term impact on their life and their family is crucial to provide clarity to the decision-making process and overcome feelings of entrapment or hasty/regrettable decision-making.
  - As a result, situations that initially appear confusing and hopeless can become the seminal moment that transforms a person’s life.

- - Sexual or reproductive-health concerns are often symptoms of deeper trauma. Building long-term relationships are critical to offer holistic (physical, emotional, spiritual) care.
  - High value is placed on accepting and journeying with each person, and the focus remains on educating, supporting, and nurturing each person through the decision-making process and in the critical months and years that follow.
  - Most people on all sides of the political and societal spectrum believe that women lack support and that this drives their decision-making. Providing comprehensive and integrated care for individuals and families, no matter what choice is made, is one practical way to address this lack of support.
  - The service model offers parenting, adoption, and post-abortion care and is freely accessible to everyone, without discrimination.
