Transforming Hearts Through Healthcare
Women deserve access to life-affirming medicine — doctors who provide compassionate care, recognize the dignity of the human person, and attend to the needs of the whole person, body, mind and spirit. Divine Mercy Care (DMC) is committed to helping all women access pro-life medical care. We partner with pro-life doctors to build the culture of life. We provide charity support to Tepeyac OB/GYN to ensure that all patients receive life-affirming care, regardless of their ability to pay. We are committed to helping educate the next generation of medical providers on our vision for life-affirming medicine.

You are invited to this year’s Divine Mercy Care Gala! Tickets for our biggest fundraiser of the year are now on sale. The Gala will be on Friday, November 8, 2024, at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly. We are celebrating 30 years of Tepeyac OB/GYN! Over these decades, Tepeyac has become a haven for lifeaffirming medicine in northern Virginia. With the help of your generous support, DMC and Tepeyac continue to serve the women and families of our community with excellent medicine.
Tickets are $300 and may be purchased through the button below. In 2023,
Tepeyac cared for more than 1,100 patients, delivered more than 500 babies, and gave families in need 123 baby supply baskets. Six hundred patients received care thanks to donor generosity.
In Matthew 14:27, while sailing amidst rough waters, Christ reminds his Apostles, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.” Our world, especially in an election year, is full of noise and distraction that tempts us to lose focus on our mission or despair that others do not understand. Like those Apostles, we must persevere through adversity to share Christ’s love through merciful medicine. We must take courage together to push forward through the storms of our culture and protect access to pro-life medicine.
Rooms are available! Reservations for a room at The Westfields should be made online through the following link: https://book.passkey.com/event/50744366/owner/13564/home.

Dr. Bruchalski’s Memoir: Two Patients
Some of you know that I regrettably performed abortions in the late ’80s during the first two years of my residency. I wanted to serve women and be the very best doctor I could be, and I thought that meant giving women what they wanted–even if it was an abortion. But one day, my conscience pricked me.
I was trying to save a baby in one room and abort a baby of the same gestational age in the next room at a hospital in Norfolk, Virginia when things didn’t go as planned. I called the NICU to resuscitate the baby we intended to abort who was born alive and weighed just over a pound. The neonatologist sternly told me to stop treating her patients like tumors and reminded me I have two patients to care for.
Her words struck me to my core. I wondered if I had been practicing a double standard in medicine.
After an incredible spiritual experience and returning to my Catholic faith, I decided to leave abortions, birth control, and IVF behind for good. I knew I was called to practice-life affirming medicine and start Tepeyac OB/GYN and Divine Mercy Care. I grew dedicated to practicing an approach to reproductive medicine that respects female fertility, honors the dignity of unborn children, and offers care to patients regardless of their financial situation.
I wrote my story down so that others might know the same joy that I’ve found in Christ and in practicing life-affirming medicine. I want others to know that they are not beyond the Lord’s mercy and there is healing after abortion and regret. I want medical students to know that they can do what I did and walk away from the medical status quo.
I pray that my story blesses you in a small way. You can order your copy from Ignatius Press here.

“I was not treated as a charity case, but as an equal”
Tepeyac was my third OB/GYN office,” notes Elise, as she describes her journey to discovering life-affirming medicine. “The first GYN I visited asked me what birth control method I was going to use. When I mentioned I would use NFP, she asked, ‘What’s that?’ When I explained it, she laughed and said it wouldn’t work. The second GYN I met with echoed the same general sentiment of doubt in NFP’s effectiveness.” The search for an OB/GYN who understood the effectiveness of NFP brought Elise out of Washington D.C. District to Northern Virginia. “I googled pro-life or NFP OB/GYN and that’s how I learned about Tepeyac.”
