I’m Considering Abortion

The first question you may have is, “Am I really pregnant?”. We can help you answer that question through our lab-certified pregnancy test and ultrasound services. Our center is here to help you confirm your pregnancy and to look at your particular situation and health factors. Once your pregnancy is confirmed with a positive pregnancy test and ultrasound, you can then start thinking about your next steps.

If you’re not sure if you’re pregnant, call our Center today at (850) 515-0334. We’ll schedule an appointment for your free pregnancy test at your convenience, and we’ll also talk to you about your pregnancy options and what your next steps could be.
