Dr. George Delgado has been a member of the AAPLOG board of directors since 2012. He is the president of Steno Institute, a nonprofit research institute he established in 2018 whose mission is to conduct, support, fund and promulgate unbiased medical and psychological research concerning pro-life topics, especially abortion pill reversal. Additionally, he is Chief of Medical Ethics of Culture of Life Family Health Care in San Diego County.

Dr. Delgado published the first peer-reviewed article in the medical literature describing the reversal of mifepristone (RU-486) using progesterone. He then established Abortion Pill Reversal, now called Abortion Pill Rescue, a program that connects women who have changed their minds after taking mifepristone (RU-486) and want to reverse the effects of the abortion pill. In 2018, he published a case series analysis of 261 successful mifepristone reversals using progesterone, demonstrating that abortion pill reversal is safe and effective.

Dr. Delgado received his medical degree from the University of California, Davis and completed his residency at Santa Monica Hospital/UCLA. He is board certified in family medicine and in hospice and palliative medicine. Dr. Delgado is an NFP Medical Consultant trained in NaProTECHNOLOGY. He completed the one-year Certification Program in Health Care Ethics with the National Catholic Bioethics Center.

Dr. Delgado was selected to receive the St. Gianna Molla Pro-Life Award at the 2017 Walk for Life West Coast. In April 2018, Heartbeat International awarded him a Servant Leader Award. Solidarity HealthShare granted him its Pro-Life Innovator Award in January 2019, on the eve of the March for Life in Washington, DC. He received the 2021 Catholic Medical Association Evangelium Vitae Award.
