Pregnancy Decision Health Centers

What Pregnancy Decision Health Centers does

Pregnancy Decision Health Centers (PDHC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (Tax ID 31-1002913) founded in 1983 that provides free, confidential pregnancy-related healthcare and support services to women in central Ohio. Core clinical offerings include nurse-administered pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds reviewed by physicians, STI testing for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and trichomonas, and options consultations covering abortion, adoption, and parenting. Non-clinical offerings include a Family Empowerment Program with parenting and life-skills classes where participants earn material aid (diapers, clothing, car seats, pack-n-play), abortion pill reversal referrals via the Abortion Pill Rescue Network, adoption agency referrals to five partner agencies, prenatal care connections, and a 24/7 hotline for scheduling and crisis support.

The organization operates four physical locations across central Ohio: a North location on Cleveland Ave. (headquarters area), a West location on W Broad St., a Campus location near Ohio State University at 22 E 17th Ave., and a Lancaster location at 3030 Columbus-Lancaster Rd. NW (relocated in early 2025 from Main Street). Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, with delivery centered on a nurse-led clinical model supplemented by administrative and outreach staff. There is no proprietary technology platform; the digital presence consists of a Wix-hosted website with blog content, organic social accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X, and a phone/SMS hotline — no app, API, or AI tooling is in evidence.

PDHC's revenue model is donation-driven: all services are provided at no cost to clients (pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, STI tests, consultations, classes, and baby supplies), and operating funds are sourced from individual and community donations to the 501(c)(3) entity. There is no venture or institutional investment, no parent company, and no subsidiaries. The go-to-market motion is direct-to-consumer via walk-in and scheduled appointments at four physical sites, supported by community outreach through blog content covering pregnancy, adoption, parenting, and abortion-related topics. The Lancaster relocation and service-line addition in early 2025 represents the most recent material operational change.
