“In theatrum anatomicum, ad gloriam Dei.”Into the anatomical theatre, for the glory of God.
A live Christian telemedicine practice by Vitae Health — a DBA of Rodriguez Corporation — on your screen and in your household, led by Prof. Dana Rodriguez, PhD, PNP-BC. Pediatric wellness, developmental assessment, chronic-condition management, parent coaching, and Christian bioethical counsel — delivered with the patience of a real clinician. Fees are discussed at intake; ESA-eligible for qualifying families.
A Christian clinic is not an ideological clinic. Vitae practices the same evidence-based pediatric medicine any competent practice practices — we simply do it inside a Catholic anthropology of the body, we do it on a charitable model that refuses no family, and we keep the moral and theological questions in the room with the clinical ones. The image above is our patron. The work below is the working day.
Pediatric primary care, developmental and behavioral health, and the questions the standard intake form never asks.
Routine well-child encounters delivered by video or phone, with appropriate follow-up. We review growth, development, nutrition, sleep, milestones, screenings, and Catholic formation.
Structured developmental screening for ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, anxiety, learning challenges, and emotional regulation — with follow-up planning appropriate to the family.
Ongoing management of pediatric chronic conditions — asthma, eczema, migraines, reflux, food sensitivities, recurrent infections, and stable medication regimens.
Specialized support for families with special-needs students, with documentation for Arizona ESA and Wisconsin school-choice program reimbursement where eligible.
One-on-one parent coaching on pediatric questions that do not fit a 15-minute visit — nutrition, sleep, discipline, media, puberty, anxiety, and the shape of family life.
Catholic moral and bioethical counsel on hard family questions — end-of-life care planning, fertility and reproductive ethics, gender questions, vaccination decisions.
“And wherever he came, in villages, cities, or country, they laid the sick in the market places, and besought him that they might touch even the fringe of his garment; and as many as touched it were made well.”Luke (via Mark 6:56) · RSV-CE

Vitae Health operates primarily outside traditional insurance billing. We provide an itemized superbill on request for families who wish to submit for out-of-network reimbursement, and we accept ESA and school-choice funds where applicable.
Yes, for appropriate conditions and within scope of practice. Stable chronic-condition prescriptions, developmental and behavioral health medications where indicated, and standard pediatric prescriptions. Controlled substances and certain specialty medications require in-person visits with appropriate local providers.
Yes. Our anthropology of the body is Catholic and classical, our bioethical counsel is Catholic, and every visit is open to prayer if the family wishes. We serve families of any Christian tradition (and of no tradition) with the same standards of care and the same Catholic moral frame.
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: Deals out that being indoors each one dwells; Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells, Crying What I do is me: for that I came.
