What FERTILITYCARE CENTER OF KANSAS CITY INC does

FertilityCare Center of Kansas City Inc is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit incorporated in 1982 as Natural Family Planning of Greater Kansas City and renamed in 1999, headquartered in Blue Springs, Missouri. It educates clients in the Creighton Model FertilityCare System (CrMS), a natural family planning method built on standardized charting of biological markers, and refers clients to NaProTechnology physicians for medical treatment of infertility, menstrual irregularities, and related reproductive conditions.

The center delivers one-on-one and follow-up teaching sessions at $45 per session with a sliding-scale option, sells CrMS charting supplies, and accepts tax-deductible donations. It maintains five practitioners and reaches clients through a church- and parish-based distribution channel across the Kansas City metropolitan area, supplemented by Zoom-based instruction for remote clients.

The organization is a charter member of the American Academy of FertilityCare Professionals (since 1982) and FertilityCare Centers of America (since 1999), and is affiliated with the Pope Paul VI Institute in Omaha. It carries no investor funding, has no acquisition history, and operates as a credentialed teaching site within a national FertilityCare ecosystem rather than as a standalone commercial enterprise.
