Ashland Pregnancy Care Center

What Ashland Pregnancy Care Center does

Ashland Pregnancy Care Center is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded in 1981 and headquartered at 119 Sloan Avenue, Ashland, Ohio. The center provides free, confidential pregnancy support services to women facing unexpected pregnancies in Ashland County and surrounding areas. Core services include professional urine pregnancy testing (Quick & Clear II, capable of detecting pregnancy one day after a missed period), limited obstetric ultrasounds performed by trained medical staff (available as early as 5.5 weeks from last menstrual period), options consultations covering abortion, adoption, and parenting, proof of pregnancy documentation for government assistance applications, and post-abortion support. The organization does not provide or refer for abortion services and explicitly states it does not financially benefit from any pregnancy decision a client makes.

The business model is entirely donation-driven. As a 501c3 non-profit, the center operates on individual donations, corporate partnerships, and revenue from community fundraising events such as the Walk for Life & 5K Fun Run, Fundraising Banquet, Baby Bottle Campaign, and Year-End Gift. A small boutique shop provides supplementary revenue. All client services are provided at no cost, with no insurance or income verification required. Distribution is direct-to-consumer through a single physical clinic, a 24/7 hotline (800-712-HELP), a text line, and an online contact form. The center maintains referral partnerships with Ohio Job and Family Services, WIC, Help Me Grow, local physicians, and area mental health counseling services to extend its care ecosystem beyond direct provision.

The center employs 1-10 staff and serves a strictly local Ashland County, Ohio market. Marketing channels include a blog with health education content, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and community events. The organization has recently completed a move to a new building and is actively investing in digital outreach and expanded service lines including male client advocacy and parenting classes.
