Options Pregnancy Resource Centers

Patients seeking services are asked to complete a brief questionnaire and medical history prior to receiving services. This is typically completed online via a text message sent to the patient prior to the visit but can be completed once they arrive at the clinic. Patients work through a decision guide with a care advocate. In the decision guide process pregnancy options - parenting, adoption and abortion (including procedures and risks) are discussed and explored. Community referrals of varying types are made to patients based on presenting needs. Community based resources are generally visited at least once by the clinic staff during the year. No abortion services or referrals for abortion are provided. Options PRC has 1 full time and 7 part time paid staff members. 8 Board members oversee organization operations. Options PRC operates a stand-alone clinic in Albany and a mobile clinic, put into service in 2019. The mobile clinic provides services in Corvallis, Philomath, Monmouth and Independence. Priority is given to patients who have an appointment, but walk-ins are also usually able to be seen on the same day. Medical services are provided in both of the facilities by paid and trained volunteer nursing staff under the direction of the Medical Director and a panel of medical advisors, all volunteers.
