(Atlantic) The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors visited and participated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday morning for the 4,000 square feet Facility Life Care Clinic at 507 Chestnut downtown, formerly known as the Rex Pharmacy Building.
Hannah Shaddy, Executive Director of The Life Care Clinic, explained to the ambassadors that the clinic is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit specializing in unplanned pregnancies. The organization is funded by churches, individuals, and businesses.
The Clinic provides free service for any woman or man facing an unplanned pregnancy, free and confidential STI testing, pregnancy tests, limited ultrasounds, options information, sexual health education, abortion recovery effort, community referrals, and material assistance.
Life Care Clinic opened its first office in 2012 in Stuart, the second in Creston in 2015, and the Atlantic location opened this past June.
The Atlantic Life Care Clinic has one paid full-time position, and each of the three offices has a paid part-time manager position.
