Q-Often there are businesses or services out there that are vital to those in need of help and many have no idea about them. Are there any locally that can help with unexpected pregnancies in teens?
A-Many are facing serious issues in their lives today, and one of those issues may be an unexpected pregnancy. As difficult as an unexpected pregnancy might be, there are many resources available in the community that help individuals navigate the difficult time.
One of these resources is Vie Medical Clinic, an outstanding pregnancy support and abortion alternative service in Pittsburg.
Having first opened their doors in 2003 as the Women's Resource Center of Southeast Kansas, Inc., in 2007 their doors were reopened and the name changed to Vie Medical Clinic. The mission then, as it is now, is to provide information, support and encouragement to anyone facing a sexual health issue.
Many people facing either an unexpected pregnancy or any other sexual health issue or crisis have limited options available of where they can turn. Limited options often lead to limited information. Vie Medical Clinic provides comprehensive services and support so that anyone facing a crisis can make confident and informed decisions.
Vie Medical Clinic provides an extensive line of services that includes: pregnancy testing, limited obstetrical ultrasounds, post-abortion support, information on all pregnancy options, sexually transmitted infection testing, sexual integrity education, peer counseling, parenting classes, men's mentoring, as well as medical and community referrals. Individuals can access these services free of charge, regardless of income, race, or religion.
Sexual health services are critical to the community. No one ever plans on an unexpected pregnancy or contracting a sexually transmitted infection and consequently, likely do not have extensive knowledge of the options or services available in the community. The staff at Vie Medical Clinic assures that each client that comes through their door is a top priority. Although the circumstances are different, the need for accurate information, support and encouragement remains the same. Individual needs are met with compassion.
Vie Medical Clinic serves the Southeast Kansas and four state area.
