Your Options Medical (a doing business as name of A Woman’s Concern) is a Christian crisis-pregnancy center that provides an alternative to abortion for women experiencing unplanned pregnancies. 1
Your Options Medical also offers post-abortion recovery to women through Hope Rising, which provides women who have had abortions with a “safe place” without “judgment” for them to heal from emotional or physical repercussions they may be experiencing. 2
Your Options Medical has a licensed medical clinic in Revere, Massachusetts and offices in Fall River, Hyannis, and Brookline, Massachusetts. The group also operates a licensed Mobile Medical Unit in the Cape Cod area. 1
Background
A Woman’s Concern opened its first crisis-pregnancy center in Boston in 1991, offering free pregnancy testing. By 1999, AWC had multiple pregnancy centers and received a medical clinic license, allowing two of its centers to be converted to medical clinics. This allowed the group to provide lab-quality pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and pregnancy-options counseling. Other satellite centers were opened in 2005, and AWC opened the first mobile medical clinic in New England in 2014. 3
Your Options Medical was created as a doing business as name of A Woman’s Concern in 2017 in an effort to expand outreach to more women who would be at risk of seeking abortion. 3
The staff of Your Options Medical receives its training from PreBorn!, a nonprofit organization that supports pregnancy clinics in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with patients to reduce abortion rates. 3

Your Options Medical is a nonprofit pregnancy center that offers free lab-quality pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and counseling to pregnant women.
