Yes, we have a variety of morning, afternoon, and limited evening appointment times. Just give us a call and we'll work with you to schedule a time that's convenient for you.

Do you offer sonograms?

I know that I'm pregnant. Why should I have a sonogram?

Although a positive pregnancy test may be accurate, various studies show that anywhere from 15 to 30 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage, which may not be obvious for a period of time. It is important to have a sonogram to check for a heartbeat to confirm pregnancy and to find out how far along the pregnancy is.

I don't have insurance. What do I do?

During your pregnancy test appointment, we can share many resources with you and provide you with a Proof of Pregnancy form for Medicaid.

I am undecided about what to do if I am pregnant. What can you do to help me?

I don't live close to any of your centers. How can I find a pregnancy center near me?

Go to www.optionline.org for information on other pregnancy centers.

Will my mom find out?

No, all of our services are confidential. We will not share information with anyone, including your parents. If a parent calls or comes by the center we will not confirm any information about you coming to the center.

Can I bring my boyfriend or friend with me?

Yes, you can bring your boyfriend or friend with you to the center. We will talk with you one-on-one in the counseling room, but your boyfriend or friend will have an opportunity to join you later in the counseling session.
