Turlock Pregnancy and Health Center

Turlock Pregnancy and Health Center (TPHC) educates, equips, and empowers individuals to make life-affirming choices. Our goal is to ensure that individuals facing unintended pregnancies are equipped to make fully informed reproductive choices. We also educate students on sexual health and healthy relationships to enable them to make decisions that lead to their optimal health.

TPHC provides medical services, support, education, material resources, parent mentoring, and reproductive loss support considering each person's individual and unique needs, therefore allowing individuals to create healthy outcomes for themselves and their children.

TPHC does this by:
-Providing integrated services for women, men, and children that address the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of each individual served.
-Advocating for the life a woman carries by first advocating for her.
-Decreasing the number of Sexually Transmitted Infections and Diseases through testing, treatment, and education.
-Providing parent mentoring that empowers parents to effectively care for their children.

TPHC's Board of Directors and leadership staff continue to execute and annually update its most recently-adopted Strategic Plan. This continues to the guide the organization and assists with goal setting.

TPHC employs a variety of methods to ensure that we can meet our goals.

Funding/Financial Accountability: TPHC is funded by individual donors and private foundations. This has created financial sustainability in that the agency is not affected by changes in State or Federal funding. Additionally, over the past ten years, TPHC has built a wide and deep resource base that does not rely on a specific individual or foundation. Our number of monthly supporters has grown from a handful to more than 130 individuals. Additionally, we had 628 donors make a financial gift to TPHC in 2020. The TPHC Board of Directors has a finance committee that oversees and reports on the budget and financial performance each month. A financial compilation report is done each year by a local accounting firm.

Our organization was formed in 2008 and opened its doors in September 2009. In our ten years, staff has been developed from a single employee to an organization that now employees 15 staff and has 23 volunteers in addition to an eight member Board of Directors. We have transitioned from a resource only organization to being a licensed medical facility with a Medical Director and Nurse Manager overseeing all medical services offered. We have developed the "Check the Facts" sexual health education curriculum and present to approximately 6,000 students each school year.

In the future, Turlock Pregnancy and Health looks forward to adding additional medical staff, increasing the scope of medical and support services offered to become a more holistic health clinic, and developing a satellite office in a neighboring town within our sphere of influence. There is also the possibility of adding a mobile medical unit to our organization so that we can service smaller towns in our county.
