The Challenges of the Changing Pro-life Landscape
Our Transition Brings Patient Transformation
Our move from a traditional pregnancy center model to a fully comprehensive women’s healthcare center was based on one specific goal: positive transformation in the lives of our patients. As we made that change, we also stepped into a new name that better reflects what we do:
Woman to Woman Health Center
We believe our new name reflects three core strengths of our mission:
- Woman to Woman: We are a staff of women dedicated to serving a very specific group of – other women. Our services are individualized and personalized according to each woman’s needs at the time she comes to us and delivered one-on-one by women who serve the needs of our patients confidentially and compassionately.
- Health: We care about the entire woman – her physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health. God made us complex human beings with an intricate system in which each of our health systems are interdependent on the other. We delight in how we are “fearfully and wonderfully made” and want our patients to understand they are uniquely and purposefully created with great potential.
- Center: We are not just a clinic that only addresses physical needs. We are a gathering place for women to center their search for health, education, and acceptance in a safe, confidential environment. We believe when our patients learn to center their lives on the One who can meet their spiritual needs, as well as their physical health, they will begin to experience the abundantly full life they were meant to experience.
Why is Transformation our Goal?
As we observed the growing needs of our community, we desired to discover how we might better serve to bring health, healing, and hope to our hurting culture. Expanding our services to target specific needs became our focus for transitioning from the pregnancy center model of the past to a new, more proactive, and interactive healthcare center for the present and future.
1. First Point of Contact: When a young woman first becomes sexually active, she typically looks for a place for STD screening and/or contraception. In the past her option has most likely been Planned Parenthood for their low cost and confidential services. NOW she has Woman to Woman Health Centers to serve her with the services she seeks. We provide a judgement-free zone that is focused on her education and empowerment to make decisions which are in her best interest. We establish a strong bond and ongoing relationship with a woman long before she faces an unplanned pregnancy, hopefully helping her to avoid that undesired circumstance altogether. We believe the saying “prevention is worth an ounce of cure” carries much applicable truth.
2. Lifestyle Medical Model: Following guidelines of the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, we have developed a medical model that flows throughout our center’s departments – non-medical, medical, and social services – to educate women in how their lifestyle choices can negatively impact their physical, emotional, and mental health. Our emphasis on spiritual health helps our patients to align their choices in all areas of their lives, bringing the desire and strength to take small, progressive steps forward in improving their overall health.
3. Maternal and Infant Health: The sad news is the U.S. is number one in first-world countries in maternal mortality. Underserved communities who lack quality prenatal and post-natal care have the greatest risk. Full-service reproductive care in a supportive environment helps to break that cycle by addressing undetected or untreated factors such as hypertension, poor nutrition, and other health problems prior to pregnancy. Attentive post-partum care is essential to ensure a healthy environment for both mother and child. We are determined to not let any woman “slip through the cracks” and believe care prior to pregnancy and well beyond birth provides the physical and emotional health women need to carry a healthy pregnancy and parent well.
4. Non-Medical Services: As we move forward by providing reproductive medical services, we bring with us all we have learned in the past that enriches women’s lives during these years:
- Education: We continue to provide informative prenatal, labor & delivery, and parenting education to our centers’ patients.
- Abortion Alternative Options: Our Patient Services Staff is the best in helping women understand abortion risks and provide alternative solutions and resources to address the circumstances pressuring an abortion decision, along with the needed support to walk through an unplanned pregnancy.
- Social Services: We desire to help women transition from being victimized by their circumstances to being empowered through available programs and services to walk in a new life of transformation that affords her health, safety, and an intentional life-affirming lifestyle. Our Patient Services Specialists design a plan for our patients to help them learn how to transition into a healthy lifestyle using available programs and resources.
