Our Team
Alpha Pregnancy Help Center (PHC) is a local non-profit agency and a California State-Licensed medical community clinic. We are also licensed with state and federal CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) offices. Our mission is to serve the community with life-affirming solutions related to pregnancy, parenting, and relationships.
We know that an unplanned pregnancy can be a challenge when faced with financial hardships, changes in education and career goals, relationship or family issues, or just bad timing. And we understand — having an abortion can seem like the only real option. But there are things you should know before making such an important decision.
Alpha PHC provides Pre-Abortion Screening. We encourage informed decision-making by giving you a safe place to process, and by offering free resources and medically-accurate information on pregnancy, surgical abortion, medication abortion, STIs/STDs and more. We also provide valuable information on parenting and adoption. We do not provide or refer for abortions. APHC does not benefit financially from any decision made and therefore does not put pressure on any woman re: her options. We offer professional, informative, and compassionate care to show you all your options and to support you in whatever decision you make.
For a woman choosing to carry her baby, we offer resources and referrals to supplement your first trimester care, in addition to parenting classes and, if needed, reproductive loss support. We can also connect you with local agencies to assist you in other ways.
All services and resources offered are at no charge.
Alpha PHC is governed by a Board of Directors. The Medical Director provides oversight for the medical clinic staff and operations. APHC’s medical professionals are Licensed RNs trained in limited OB ultrasound, serving as paid staff and as volunteers. Our Executive Director provides oversight for all non-medical operations of the center, directing staff and activities related to client services, donor partnerships, administration, mission, vision and community relations.
Our Client Advocates are trained in peer counseling to listen with compassion and without judgment. Services are provided at our Merced location, in addition to several outlying areas of Merced County through our Mobile Clinic.
This is your decision. We’re here to listen. We’re here to help.
