We are a community-funded center that exists to make sure that no one in our community has to face pregnancy or parenthood alone or without support.
[Learn more on what to expect during your first appointment here](https://pontiachope.org/what-to-expect?hsLang=en).
- How do you protect my privacy?
Services are confidential, and we are committed to protecting your health information.
You can contact the center on your own, even if you are a minor; staff does not share your information with parents without your permission, except when required by law.
- How quickly can I be seen?
We understand urgency is a major factor in pregnancy confirmation or exploring options. **Same-day appointments are sometimes available.**
Call us directly to ask for our soonest available appointment times. We will do what we can to help get you in ASAP.
- How are you different than other Family Planning clinics?
**We are different in a lot of ways.**
As a community-funded nonprofit, our role is to provide honest information, free pregnancy health services, and compassionate care.
**We do not profit from your decision.**
We're here with ongoing support, community connections, parenting resources, post-abortion care, and more whenever you need us.
Note: It is not within our center's scope to provide or refer for abortions, birth control, or IUDs.
