Pregnancy Care Center of Grants Pass has operated as a life-affirming, Christian, non-profit in Josephine County since 1988 with more than forty-eight thousand individuals served. Services are provided free of charge to all and include pregnancy testing, options counseling, nurse consul tations, limited OB ultrasound, connections to local and other resources, parenting classes, school presentations encouraging positive sexual health decisions, and recovery classes for those who are struggling from a past abortion experience.

In June of last year, Pregnancy Center of the Illinois Valley, which had operated over the previous 35 years in Cave Junction, became part of Pregnancy Care Center of Grants Pass. Medical services at this facility now operate under medical director Dr. Jon Ermshar and we have begun to see increased appointments and parenting class participation from those residing in the area. Outreach strategies are underway to reach more of the 17,000 individuals living in the Illinois Valley.

We are also excited to announce that construction of a roughly 8,000 square foot building is planned to begin very soon which will be located next to the current Grants Pass facility on 8th and L Street. This project will provide further support to mothers, fathers, teenagers, and others in the community by adding an auditorium and kitchen for parenting and other classes/events, conference rooms to support other free Pregnancy Care Center program services, a larger boutique to provide increased supplies to new parents, and 10 additional offices. The project will also include 20 additional onsite parking spaces. The new building will allow the current facility located at 714 SE 8th Street to be used entirely for medical services to further support pregnant women and their unborn children.

All Pregnancy Care Center services have and will continue to be 100% supported through individuals, churches, businesses, and private foundations. Thank you for making this vital work possible. Pregnancy Care Center of Grants Pass
