The services offered by the Medical Clinic include pregnancy testing, pregnancy coaching and education, plus limited obstetrical ultrasound. Registered nurses educate patients on the reality of abortion procedures and risks, and fetal development. Pregnancy tests are administered one-on-one with a trained registered nurse and results are given within minutes. Because we are community supported, all our services are offered at no cost. Pregnancy Choices has approximately 20 dedicated volunteers who put in over 2000 hours in 2023. During their appointment, women are cared for holistically. Patients are given information on types of adoption available to them, and local parenting resources so that patients can make an educated decision for their pregnancy and their future. Patients receive emotional and relational care through discussions and education regarding sexual risk avoidance, healthy relationships, future goals, and family dynamics. Patient advocates care for patients emotionally and spiritually by offering prayer, bibles, and discipleship opportunities on an as needed basis. In addition, referrals and resources for social services such as housing, continuing education, job training, recovery, medical care, childcare assistance and other community resources can be given according to the patient's needs. A licensed medical director oversees the medical team who provides limited obstetrical ultrasounds on women whose pregnancy test is positive. Recipients of an ultrasound receive fetal development education and additional medical referrals as needed. Regardless of their situation, all services provided at our medical clinic are available for women facing unplanned or planned pregnancy. Since we do not perform or refer for abortions, arrange adoptions or provide comprehensive medical care, we have no financial interest in the pregnancy decisions made by women. Each woman deserves to make an informed choice for her pregnancy. The medical clinic exists to provide the necessary information, resources, and caring support for her to do so. In 2023 Pregnancy choices served 335 patients via 162 pregnancy tests, 148 ultrasounds, 22 STD/STI tests and 3 well woman exams. In addition, 369 participated in our mentoring program. 65841 62973 Thriving Heart is our mentorship/education arm of the Medical Clinic providing classes and quarterly workshops. Thriving Heart utilizes an online educational curriculum called Brightcourse which offers streaming video lessons that are research-based, relevant, easy to understand and can be viewed from any location and device. Classes focus on parenting, healthy pregnancy, relationships, self-care, maternity, life skills, fatherhood, sexual health, and infant care. Clients meet with a mentor on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Registered participants can earn a crib, playpen, car seat or stroller through class attendance, as well as receive credits that are used to earn basic life necessities through our on-site boutique. This boutique consists of donated baby items, clothing, strollers, diapers, maternity clothes etc. Some of the classes are offered in Spanish. Thriving Heart had 307 boutique visits and 415 classes taken in 2023. 9910 FutureImpact (FI) program speakers present to students ages 12-18 in both the public and private school health class settings and youth groups. Topics include healthy dating relationships with a sexual risk avoidance approach. Established in 1997 FI reaches students in Skagit County with positive feedback from students. FutureImpact is in compliance with the Federal Center for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines indicating that sexual risk avoidance is the most reliable way to avoid transmissions of STD's and unplanned pregnancy; is medically and evidence based; and is in compliance with the OSPI's comprehensive sexual guidelines. In 2013 FI began educating students on child sex trafficking awareness and internet dangers. FutureImpact was discontinued in September 2023. The maternity home is a residential maternity program that supports pregnant single women or women who recently gave birth and can house up to 5 women at a time. We provide a place where you can live during pregnancy and after the birth of their child. We provide a safe and secure environment for mothers to become emotionally and spiritually healthy. While at the maternity home residents will learn life skills, job skills, apply for housing, learn to manage money, attend bible study groups, and parenting classes to prepare them for independent living. Our goal is to equip moms to rebuild and restore their lives through biblical principles, education, and job placement. Women of all faiths or no faith are welcome. You must be at least 18 years of age and committed to stay a minimum of 6 months. The maternity home program was discontinued in July of 2023. 633850 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 15 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 6 6 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 X Hilary Hoffman 3604284777 110 N 15th Street Mount Vernon WA 98273 Frank Jeretzky Chairman 15.00 X X 0 0 0 Margaret Cobb Treasurer 5.00 X X 0 0 0 Maria Anderson Vice-Chairman 15.00 X X 0 0 0 Rebecca Hamman Executive Director and Secretary 40.00 X X 27550 0 0 Ken Krueger Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Sanders Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Sweeney Board Member 10.00 X 0 0 0 Brenda Miller Treasurer 15.00 X X 0 0 0 Katy Janicki Board Member 5.00 X 0 0 0 27550 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 44725 640547 54750 685272 227 227 1471 1699 -228 -228 -228 0 44725 9772 -9772 -9772 Other income 900099 1142 1142 1142 676641 0 0 -8631 29400 29400 62973 62973 27550 2755 19285 5510 292215 275109 9521 7585 14419 12443 1358 618 32169 27760 3031 1378 3320 2865 313 142 2323 2005 219 99 24513 21153 2310 1050 16060 14454 1606 37508 29869 6394 1245 24416 22001 1660 755 57524 46020 5752 5752 4406 3802 415 189 Client services 57146 57146 Repairs and maintenance 19941 18188 1753 Dues, fees and subscrip 11156 5907 644 4605 11133 10494 639 728172 633850 63149 31173 451041 332897 54285 175983 2396 30000 28614 8710 1230223 93057 1194690 1137166 149759 186491 1879775 1872257 17790 32519 17790 32519 X 1826977 1819800 35008 19938 1861985 1839738 1879775 1872257 X -51531 29284 0 X 1 X 0 1 0 X 460340 550756 1051849 946631 685272 3694848 460340 550756 1051849 946631 685272 3694848 1088097 2606751 9519 17555 2310 474 227 30085 483 3683 1301 13391 1142 20000 3744933 12186 0.69610 0.72590 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 50000 50000 1091273 55367 1035906 42708 22994 19714 46242 14696 31546 1137166 Annual Fall Fundraiser 44725 44725 175 6853 2744 44725 44725 175 6853 2744 9772 -9772 1 Household goods and personal care items 307 62973 FMV Car seats, clothes, diapers, wipes and formula.
