Pregnancy Options -- When a woman comes to the St. Joseph PRC, she is met by a patient advocate who provides her with factual information regarding her pregnancy options.
Pregnancy Ultrasound -- If a woman finds that she is pregnant after her testing, she is provided with an appointment for a limited ultrasound at no cost to her.

Maternity Closet -- New and gently used clothing giveaway for expectant mothers.

Post-abortion support
