In this episode of The Weekly Grind, Mark Pitman from the CPC Women's Health Resource joins the podcast to share a little bit about what the CPC is doing here in Northwest Ohio to promote life and health to those faced with difficult circumstances.
The CPC Women’s Health Resource centers were first organized in January of 1986, when a small nucleus of concerned Northwest Ohio people came together in an attempt to meet the needs of women/couples who were in unplanned pregnancy and were looking for some support and assistance. The organizers began with a phone hotline and took calls from women who needed pregnancy testing. In July of 1986, the first center was opened in Bryan with Mindy Schaffner, who was then the Williams County Health Commissioner, as the acting director.
It is funded completely by individuals, churches, organizations, and businesses. We receive no government funding for the ministry portion of our programs.
