No it is a non profit agency and is not
owned or operated by the government. It
is a center that you can go to to have a
free pregnancy test if you are pregnant
and they counsel women about pregnancy
when the do find out they are pregnant.
The people that run it are volunteers.
When I first found out I was expecting, I
went there for a free pregnancy test and
from then on they have different things
that they offer for pregnant women young
and old. Like parenting classes, child
birth classes, etc. They also show you
videos and just are there to talk to you
about what to expect becoming a parent..
They dont publically advertise so you
wouldnt know about it unless someone told
you about it. It is not in a big old
public building its actually really
private in its own location that looks
like a doctors office. They have nurses
and doctors that rotate and volunteer
there when needed.. They dont give you
medical care because they ask you to go to
an OBGYN for that they are just there for
you if you need them to talk with or need
advice or want to attend any of their free
classes. They do regular ultrasounds on
Wednesdays but I guess they pick a time
out of the year to do free ultrasounds for
any one withing the 7-20 wk period because
they know that some doctor office only
allow you 1 or 2 or whatever. The people
there were really nice. I went this past
saturday and had an ultrasound and it
lasted about 20 min because they did alot
of measurements and took lots of pics. I
hope this answers your question.

This is a crisis pregnancy center. It can
be found online.
You can look up what a crisis pregnancy
center is on Wikipedia and make your
decision whether that is something you
want to be involved with. Not everyone
will.

well I didnt know it was a crisis center
because it didnt seem like it when I went
there. I saw the flyers for free
ultrasound and I just thought I would pass
the info on for people in the area..  Also the women and
husbands/boyfriends that were there sure
didnt look like they were in crisis
situations to me lol! But I guess people
were taking advantage of the free
ultrasounds.

When I said they didnt advertise I meant
like in commercials or in the paper or
whatever. And I guess that was because
they would really get swamped with tons of
people... Since I had already went there
back in August when I had my pregnancy
test, they had my name and number on file
so they called me to see if I would like
to have one done for free..I said sure.. I
actually didnt know that they were
offering the u/s to other people until I
got there. I saw the flyer posted within
the place while there and just thought I
would let other people know about it
because there were no type of restrictions
or anything. I am assuming that some of
the people/couples that were there
probably heard about it through word of
mouth as well because I heard different
conversations while I was there waiting
and people were like "WOW I never knew
this place was here and getting a free
ultra sound is awesome" etc etc. While
waiting in the waiting room they also had
all this literature in there telling about
the place and what services to offer. I
was just trying to share a little info.

I think it is great you can get some
medical attention when you need it. I just
know that a CPC is not going to be for
everyone because of their views about
religion, etc - I wanted to make sure it
was known that this is a CPC and not a
family planning clinic.
