TLC Pregnancy Services

What TLC Pregnancy Services does

TLC Pregnancy Services operates under the legal name Pregnancy Solutions, a 501(c)-style nonprofit organization founded in 1996 and headquartered at 3136 Manchester Road in Akron, Ohio. The organization provides free, confidential medical and support services to pregnant women, expectant fathers, and families in Greater Akron and Summit County, Ohio. Core medical services include lab-quality urine pregnancy testing (hCG), first-trimester limited OB ultrasounds to confirm viability and gestational age, and free STI/STD testing and treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea. All medical services are administered by licensed medical professionals under the direction of a board-certified physician.

The organization complements its medical services with a layered support ecosystem: options consultation with trained client advocates, community referrals, an 8-week Active Parenting course, weekly Empowered Moms one-on-one mentoring, the HIS Legacy fatherhood program, a 10-week post-abortion support group, and the Before We Said Hello miscarriage/infant loss devotional. Clients who participate across these services earn points redeemable at Makenna's Corner / Makenna's Closet, a baby boutique providing infant supplies from premature through age three. Service delivery occurs at the fixed Akron clinic (Monday-Thursday 9am-3pm) and via a Medical Mobile Unit operating throughout Summit County (Tuesday-Thursday 10am-2pm) in partnership with Image Clear Ultrasound.

The business model is entirely donor-funded: all client-facing services are provided at no cost, with revenue derived from community donations and a separate donation site (pregnancysolutions.life/donate). The organization has 11-50 employees, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no app, and no disclosed public APIs. Since founding, it has served over 16,000 families.

Direct peers

• First Care Pregnancy Center: Faith-based pregnancy resource center offering free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, options consultation, parenting education, and material assistance. Operates the same nonprofit, donor-funded, free-services model targeting similar clientele.
• CompassCare: Pregnancy resource center operating in New York and beyond, offering free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STI testing, and options consultation. Closely mirrors TLC's licensed-medical-professional-under-physician-direction service model.
• Alpha Pregnancy Center: Pregnancy resource center providing free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, parenting classes, baby boutique, and post-abortion support. Closely comparable bundle of medical, educational, and material services delivered at no cost.
• RealOptions Pregnancy Resource Center: Multi-location pregnancy resource center in California providing free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STI testing, parenting classes, and material support. Highly comparable integrated medical-plus-support model.
• Care Net: National network of more than 1,100 pregnancy resource centers providing free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, options consultation, and parenting support. TLC Pregnancy Services operates with the same direct-to-consumer, free-service PRC model and serves a comparable client base.

Others

Comparable as an ecosystem enabler rather than a service competitor; TLC could access shared resources, training, and advocacy through NIFLA affiliation.
• Image Clear Ultrasound (ICU Mobile): Mobile pregnancy services operator that partners with pregnancy centers nationwide. TLC directly partners with Image Clear Ultrasound for its Medical Mobile Unit in Summit County, making ICU an enabling ecosystem participant rather than a competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Planned Parenthood (Akron Health Center): Large incumbent reproductive health provider with a location in the Akron area offering pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, contraception, abortion, and STI services. Competes for the same client base for early pregnancy services but offers a much broader reproductive health portfolio.
