Pregnancy Test & Options Counseling

Your first visit to our center is probably to determine whether or not you are pregnant. At this time you will meet one on one with one of our client advocates. She will take a brief medical history then assist you to perform a pregnancy test. You will have the results within minutes. If your pregnancy test is positive your advocate will discuss with you the three different options you have to consider. She will take all the time needed to answer whatever questions you have and send you home with several brochures that can help you continue your decision making process. If you need pregnancy verification for Job and Family Services we can provide that for you as well.
