It’s called Option Ultrasound™ — a six-year campaign to provide qualifying PRCs with ultrasound equipment, training and standards for professional operations.

Since January, we have been astounded at the groundswell of support and response — not only from pro-life donors but from PRCs around the country. As of the time of this mailing, 55 centers have added ultrasound services through our program.

As one director said:“The Option Ultrasound program came at the perfect time. . . .  This summer, we are expanding services to reach an underserved population. . . .  After an ultrasound, 93 percent of abortion-minded and abortion-vulnerable women make a choice for life. . . .  It is the single most effective tool we use in our ministry. . . .  The Focus on the Family grant award will reap a great harvest of saved lives!” (C.B., MO)

We want to come alongside you — in cooperation with CareNet, Heartbeat International and NIFLA — to enable your PRC to add ultrasound services, upgrade your sonogram equipment or train sonography staff. But you need to take that first step — apply. You can see how to apply right from this Web site.

Now, if this is not the right timing for you, please know that’s OK! Nonetheless, we also know things can change — and we want you to have this information. So, if you would, please keep it on hand and review it periodically.

Yes, converting to a medical center can seem like a big step. But next year, wouldn’t you like to be able to write the following kind of letter?

“On behalf of [our] board of directors, staff and volunteers . . .  thank you for the treasured gifts we received from Focus on the Family through the Option Ultrasound program. The lives of women, men and their unborn babies will be impacted each day — for now and for eternity — as we utilize ultrasound to vividly show and provide the sounds of tiny hearts beating. Through [your] generosity and your thorough review and inspection of our organization’s processes, we are stronger in our client services, medical clinic and board of directors/governance areas.” (M.Y., CO)

The work you’re doing is of eternal significance — and we’re here for you, no matter what. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions or prayer requests!
