About Us
Comprehensive women’s healthcare clinic providing compassionate care to meet the healthcare needs of today’s woman.
The Eden Clinic is a non-profit medical clinic and Christian outreach for those facing an unplanned pregnancy. We use an innovative approach in dealing with abortion, crisis pregnancies and sexuality. We have optimized our services to create an atmosphere of trust as we meet the healthcare needs of women and build relationship. Our medical services include fertility education, prescription hormonal contraception and natural family planning to help reduce crisis pregnancies, rather than only meeting women at the point of crisis and possible abortion.
Because we are a Christian ministry, staffed with believers our approach to healthcare is holistic, considering the body, mind, emotions and spirit, addressing sexual choices, relationship issues and what a difference Christ can make in their lives.
Our services include pregnancy testing, OB ultrasound, 1st trimester prenatal care, STI testing and treatment, well woman check ups, abortion information and options, pregnancy wellness and after abortion care. Most of our services are free of charge.
The Eden Clinic does not provide or refer for abortion services.
Empowering Women
Unexpected pregnancy comes with a lot of emotions and feelings. We empower women with knowledge to make her best decision.
No normal thinking woman wants to have an abortion. She considers it because of difficult circumstances, and she can’t clearly see any other option. An unplanned pregnancy can make a woman feel that her life and future are threatened by the pregnancy. The Eden Clinic works to calm her fears, hear her reasons for abortion and help her explore her options. As Christians, we understand that LIFE is always the best choice, no matter the circumstances, but she does not see that. She works through a Personal Decision Guide to clearly consider her options and measure her own moral compass against her three options – abortion, parenting or choosing parents (adoption). The Caring Help at Eden help her see the support system she has. 69% of women who aborted said they felt pressure from others. We help point out any pressure she may be feeling from others to have an abortion.
Limited OB Ultrasound
According to Care Net, a national pro-life organization, 79% of women will change their mind about having an abortion once they see their baby on the ultrasound screen – the heartbeat and the movement of life on the screen can sometimes trump all the reasons she felt she had to have an abortion. With the support team of Eden she can find strength to make a decision for life.
Post Abortion Support
The Eden Clinic provides post-abortion support through an 8 week Bible study, “Forgiven and Set Free.”
The Guttmacher Institute reported that half of pregnancies among American women are unintended, and 4 in 10 of these are terminated by abortion. Twenty-one percent of all pregnancies (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion. The American Psychological Association stated that women suffering from abortions had psychological issues to begin with and that post-abortion trauma does not exist. However, Dr. David Reardon of the Elliot Institute has been studying post abortion in women for more than 25 years. His findings are quite the opposite. Dr. Reardon’s studies prove that abortion hurts women.
reported a study in 2011 revealing the mental effects abortion has on women.
Because abortion is legal and a ‘choice’, women are not allowed to grieve that loss when grief comes, but are told to ‘move on’. Therefore, many women keep their abortions a secret and suffer in silence. But, you don’t have to…
