Carenet Pregnancy Center of RI

What Carenet Pregnancy Center of RI does

Harmony Women's Care (legal name, dba of Carenet Pregnancy Center of RI) is a Rhode Island-based nonprofit founded in 1988 that provides free, confidential early pregnancy medical services and support to women facing unplanned pregnancies. Its core clinical offerings include pregnancy testing, early obstetric ultrasounds, and STI/STD testing and treatment for chlamydia and gonorrhea, delivered by a team of 4 nurses supported by 6 additional staff, for a total of 10 personnel. The organization is headquartered at 845 N. Main Street in Providence, Rhode Island, in a clinic purchased and renovated in 2022, with a second satellite location signed in February 2026 for East Providence targeting a summer 2026 opening.

Beyond clinical services, Harmony operates a portfolio of support programs including the Harmony Thrive mentor referral program launched in 2025, a 10-week Healing After an Abortion program offered twice yearly, a Sexual Wholeness program, parenting and pregnancy support, and material goods distribution (baby clothes, diapers). It is expanding its accessibility model with a 24/7 nurse support line planned for 2026. The original South County Crisis Pregnancy Center opened in Wakefield in 1989, later became CareNet-Rhode Island, and rebranded to Harmony Women's Care in January 2016 when it launched its current medical program. The organization serves Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts, with one-third of patients coming from the East Bay and southern Massachusetts area.

Harmony is 100% donation-funded and receives no state or federal funding, with revenue streams spanning individual donations (including a Heritage Club monthly giving program), stock donations, IRA charitable distributions, legacy giving, business partnerships, and church partnerships. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, anchored by church partner networks, the Baby Bottle Campaign, an annual Banquet, and Vision Tours for prospective donors and volunteers. As of 2024–2025, it has served 250+ women and families annually, nearly 900 women chose to continue their pregnancies after its services over the past decade, and patient satisfaction averages 9.6 out of 10 since 2016. The organization is ECFA-accredited, holds Gold Transparency from Candid, a four-star Charity Navigator rating, and SperaVita's Center of Distinction designation. Founding Executive Director Rachel Nguyen will step down at the end of 2026 after 17 years, with Director of Operations Jessica Picillo succeeding her.
