Services Offered
Pregnancy Testing
Overview
A urine pregnancy test is a reliable method of confirming a pregnancy. The test looks for a hormone called HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin). The presence of this hormone typically indicates pregnancy and can be detected in the urine 10 days after fertilization and by blood 8 days after fertilization of the egg and attachment to the uterine wall. Most people schedule a urine pregnancy test around the time of a missed period. A blood test is not routinely performed to diagnose a pregnancy.
Who is it for?
Patients ages 12 years or older.
Cost
No cost for urine pregnancy testing.
Pregnancy Options Education
Overview
Meet with a trained advocate to discuss pregnancy options (including parenting, abortion, and adoption) and get connected to community resources near you.

Ultrasound Imaging
Overview

Prenatal Care
Overview
We offer a group-based prenatal care program (called Centering Pregnancy) at our Lynwood clinic. This model of prenatal care brings patients out of the exam room and into a group setting, which also helps build a community of support. Groups are typically formed with 4-10 women of different ages, races, and socio-economic backgrounds. Groups begin in their first trimester of pregnancy and include the standard 10 prenatal visits. By joining a Centering group you will have greater access to your provider, learn more about pregnancy, and be better equipped for birth within a supportive network of moms.
Who is it for?
Pregnant women who enroll during their first trimester and are considered medically low-risk. All patients enrolled must also meet the Medi-Cal insurance requirements.
Cost
There is no cost for Medi-Cal patients. Contact us to check eligibility.
Childbirth Classes
Overview
A 2-hour childbirth preparation course in person or online called “Birthing Bootcamp” to review the stages of labor, coping techniques, possible interventions, pain management, birth preferences, and more.
Who is it for?
Pregnant clients/patients and their partners/support team.
Cost
No cost
