RealOptions

The goal is to provide an alternative comprehensive women's healthcare model in the Bay Area and across the nation that leads with compassionate, caring, and honest core values. We would like to decrease the number of abortions, unplanned pregnancies, and STDs through education, medical services, and college campus outreach programs by offering holistic, life-affirming healthcare. We also want to come alongside those dealing with pregnancy loss that need emotional healing and support from past abortions and miscarriages.

In 2017 we became an affiliate of the Obria Group whose plans are to affiliate with 200 high-quality women's health care providers nationwide to build an alternative women's health care model that is life affirming. We offer vital medical services, education, and resources to our communities. We have improved our reach and impact within Santa Clara and Alameda Counties by relocating two regional pregnancy medical clinics to strategic locations, and by acquiring a clinic in Union City. We invested resources and are certified in Ascend Optimal Health Education with a sexual risk avoidance curriculum. Every year we educate thousands of students and parents through our RealTalk program curriculum, college campus outreach program, and social media campaigns. We expanded our medical services in 2019 by adding well-women care, breast exams, and cervical cancer screenings to our medical services. We plan to offer full panel STD testing and treatment in 2020, and are in the process of becoming AAAHC accredited. We have also expanded our pregnancy loss programs to include anyone impacted by abortion or miscarriage.

We are fully staffed and operating three licensed medical clinics. We are resourced and have certified Center for Relationship Education educators to offer our RealTalk curriculum in the Bay Area. We assist student led clubs on college campuses by investing in a paid Campus Manager and have a team that leads our pregnancy loss programs.

We expanded our services in 2016 by offering STI testing to high risk populations including high school and college-age students in our community, as well as started offering abortion pill reversal treatment to women who change their minds after taking the first abortion pill. We began offering additional medical services such as well-women care, breast exams, and cervical cancer screenings in 2019, and plan on offering full panel STD testing in 2020. We are also in the process of becoming AAAHC accredited. STDs are a serious drain on the U.S. healthcare system, *costing the nation almost $16 billion in health care costs every year.
