An unexpected pregnancy can happen to anyone—and if you’re still in school, finding out you’re pregnant can make everything feel uncertain.
We’re here to help—no shame, pressure, or cost involved. All of our services are offered at no cost to our clients. We do not bill insurance, collect insurance information, or charge for any services—so nothing will be sent to your home or your parents. Your appointment is completely confidential.

When you reach out, you’ll be talking directly with our local team—nurses, sonographers, and client advocates who are here to support you.

Start with a Pregnancy Test
If you think you might be pregnant, the first step is confirming the pregnancy. We offer free, medical-grade pregnancy and STI testing and provide a safe, confidential space to process your results. If your test is positive, we offer free and confidential options counseling to help you consider your next steps. Schedule your appointment today to take the first step forward.
Discuss an Ultrasound with a Nurse
If your pregnancy test is positive, you’ll need an ultrasound to confirm that your pregnancy is viable and determine how far along you are. Our team can schedule a no-cost, limited ultrasound—often on the same day as your test. Whether you’re considering abortion, parenting, or adoption, an ultrasound is important for your health and safety.
Consider Your Options
Once your pregnancy is confirmed, you’ll have three main options to think about: abortion, parenting, or adoption. While we do not refer or provide abortion services, our nurses are here to provide education and information on abortion pills and in-clinic procedures in Columbia, MO and Boone County.
You may not know what you want right now—and that’s okay. You deserve the time and support to make a well-supported, informed decision. You have options, and likely more time than you think to figure out what’s best for you. You’re not alone, and there’s help for whatever comes next.
Free STI Testing & Treatment
We offer free testing & treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea. If you've had unprotected sex, or a change of partners, it's time to get tested. Oral, anal, or vaginal sex always carries the risks of STIs.
One of the most common side effects of an STI is no symptoms at all. Other common symptoms can include:
-
Clear, white, greenish, or yellowish discharge
-
Strong vaginal odor
-
Itching or irritation inside the penis or vagina
-
Pain during sexual intercourse
-
Painful urination
Please note: we are only able to test male clients if they are accompanied by their female partner who is also receiving testing.
