Great strides begin with your support

Healthy Beginnings has grown significantly over the last fifteen years and much of that growth is attributable to the quality of care received by the women who make up our client base. Most clients are referred directly from one of 17 area pregnancy centers. As a result, we are not very well known in the community at large. This fact makes our current situation acute.

The owners of our current premises have asked us to find a new home. They intend to demolish and have stopped any maintenance or repairs on the building. After a thorough search of the desired target area, we purchased a reasonably priced clinic building at 47 E. Hollister Street. It is close to the Pregnancy Center and on two bus lines, will provide a comfortable office for our patients and nicer surroundings for our many medical volunteers. The building is ideal, with room to grow and space in the future for additional pediatric services for our new families. We need immediate cash to build out the empty space and make it suitable for our purposes.
 

We also need to replace our aging ultrasound machines. This equipment is old and has become too difficult and expensive to repair. Our plan calls for five new networked ultrasound machines. Networking means our medical director can remotely access and examine images from any location at any time. This can save valuable hours in the case of emergencies and increase our level of service generally. Finally, our capital campaign seeks to pay off the mortgage to the new building over the next three (3) years. We currently have tenants in the interim to help cover the monthly expense. However, the nature of our donor-supported operation does not allow us to responsibly include ongoing debt. In short, our capital campaign is meant to fund one great stride that will put Healthy Beginnings in a better place to continue meeting the needs of the underserved in our community.
