Pregnancy Tests
An appointment in our clinic always includes a free pregnancy test. Our urine tests are administered by medical professionals. If the test is positive, we are able to help determine due date, answer any questions, and discuss having an ultrasound. Upon request, we can provide an official written confirmation of pregnancy.
Community Resources
We provide Hope for women in Marion and Polk counties by working together with others in a holistic approach to support women who are unprepared for pregnancy. We work together with 75+ community organizations and churches that provide everything from housing, medical services, clothing, parenting classes, addiction recovery resources and more.
Ultrasounds
We offer a free limited ultrasound to help confirm pregnancy and determine fetal heart rate and estimated due date. Every ultrasound is performed by our medical staff and reviewed by our licensed medical director so our patients receive the best quality care. Approximately 95% of women who see their baby’s image on an ultrasound screen choose life.
Parenting Initiative
Hope launched the Parenting Initiative in 2020, through which we provide parenting and life skills education to every patient that chooses life. Each patient who enrolls is paired with a mentor who serves as her learning coach in conjunction with an online parenting curriculum. About half of those expectant mothers are accompanied by the father of the baby.
This mentoring program gives us the opportunity to go much deeper with our patients, and to help them prepare to become new parents. It is an incentives program that allows participants to earn “baby bucks” with which they can get lots of helpful items for their babies. Everyone who attends at least six sessions also receives a brand-new car seat or pack ‘n’ play. We have always wanted to give our patients these material goods, and with this program they can now earn them themselves.
Through the Parenting Initiative we are able to establish long-lasting relationships with our patients. The majority of them choose to participate in our voluntary Bible-study and some even begin attending church with their mentor.
Options Counseling
We have a skilled team of trained staff and medical professionals who are available to listen and advocate for our patients. They offer a caring, confidential, non-judgmental presence as they partner with patients making difficult pregnancy decisions. We provide information on all the options our patients face, including abortion risks and procedures. By providing complete and accurate information, we believe that our patients will be equipped to make wise, life-affirming choices.
