Standards of Your Care while Visiting the Center
We welcome
you to our crisis pregnancy center. Our pregnancy center is a nonprofit
ministry serving women, as well as their families and partners, who come
seeking help in making decisions about their pregnancies and related concerns.
Your future is important to us, and we consider it an honor and privilege
to be a part of your life, assisting you during such a crucial time. As
such, we make the following promise to every person who walks through
these doors:
1. We are
dedicated to providing a warm and safe environment to everyone, regardless
of your age, race, income, nationality, religious affiliation or circumstances.
2. You will
be treated with kindness and compassion and may leave the center whenever
you wish.
3. Your
story will be listened to with respect and courtesy, and without judgment,
ridicule, or rejection.

the right to withhold any information you do not want to share with a
volunteer. All information shared will be held in strict and absolute
confidence, except in the rare circumstances when prohibited by law.
5. You will
receive accurate information about pregnancy, fetal development, life-style
issues, and related concerns. The pregnancy center does not provide abortion
or referrals for abortion, but we are committed to offering accurate information
about abortion procedures and risks.

refuse any information you do not wish to receive.
7. You
will receive honest and open answers.

that you have allowed us to share in this crucial decision-making process
with you. Please let us know of any ways we can improve as we seek to
uphold the integrity and dignity of every person who seeks and receives
our services.
