Pregnancy

If you or someone you know suspects she is pregnant, it is important to find out immediately. If you are uncertain as to what to do, there are places that offer help. It’s important to have a pregnancy test in a qualified setting as soon as possible. Test done with kits at home are not always accurate. You also need to talk with someone you can trust and get medical attention right away.

Pregnancy testing and counseling are available at the following agencies. Parental permission is not required if you are over 14 years of age or older. Call for cost and hours.
