Health Care > Reproductive Medicine

Our Division of Reproductive Medicine is based on the same tenets that have guided us since opening our doors in 1977: we support reproductive health and justice in a safe and supportive environment for all women. As the first facility in Atlanta to provide donor insemination services open to all women, including single women and lesbians, we are proud to remain at the forefront of women’s health care by offering one of the most holistic and innovative donor insemination programs in the South.

What is Donor Insemination, also known as Artificial Insemination?

It is a procedure in which a thin catheter inserts a sperm sample into a woman’s uterus by utilizing the sperm of a male partner, a known donor, or a donor from a reputable sperm bank obtained by the client. This offers a means of achieving pregnancy for many couples having difficulty conceiving, and is also an option for single women, or women in lesbian relationships. A pregnancy from Donor Insemination carries no greater health risk than a pregnancy resulting from intercourse.

What Sets Us Apart?
