Why Use Network Medical

There are many great reasons for using Network Medical to meet your needs.

1. Trusted Medical Professionals. Network Medical is medically licensed and trusted for pregnancy and abortion information, and reproductive healthcare. Our patients are highly satisfied with getting the help they want and need. And they also say they feel supported and respected.
2. Respectful, supportive, and non-judgmental. We serve our Patients with respect to equity, diversity, and inclusion regarding age, race, income, nationality, religious affiliation, disability, and other similar circumstances. Because we do not make money from any choice you make, there is no pressure. We inform, YOU decide. We genuinely care about our patients. We treat you with the care and support you desire.
3. Full range of pregnancy options explained. We will help you understand the full range of options (abortion, parenting / unplanned parenthood, adoption) including the details for each option. This will help you make the best choice for yourself. We provide medical information if you are facing an unexpected pregnancy and are considering abortion.
4. FREE (no cost) Pregnancy Test / Verification. Our medical grade pregnancy test verified by a nurse will help clarify if you are pregnant. The test responds to a hormone released during pregnancy called HCG. HCG levels may still be high, but you may no longer have a viable (living) pregnancy. Therefore, your positive pregnancy test doesn’t necessarily mean you are still pregnant. Also, up to 1 in 5 (20%) of known pregnancies end naturally by miscarriage.¹
5. FREE Ultrasound to learn about pregnancy details and your possible options. Ultrasound provides more information and can help define the type and cost of the abortion procedure you may be able to receive. Ultrasound determines how far along the pregnancy is, if the pregnancy is viable, and certain complications and medical conditions related to the pregnancy.² If you want to, you can confirm this by seeing the ultrasound we provide for free. Other clinics will charge for ultrasound and do not give you the opportunity to view your ultrasound images.
6. No profit.  Network Medical services are free to you, and we do not receive any financial profit from your pregnancy because we do not perform or refer for abortions or arrange adoptions. Since other medical providers receive fees for these services, their recommendations may potentially be motivated by financial gain. At Network Medical, you can be confident in the information you receive is accurate and unbiased – We inform. You decide.
7. FREE STI / STD testing and treatment. We help you protect your future reproductive health. Because abortion affects your reproductive organs you should consider your future reproductive health. An STD can be transferred through your cervix (which opens with any abortion) into your uterus.³ If this happens, it could cause PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease), which is painful and could cause infertility. At Network Medical, we test for and treat the two most common treatable STDs, for FREE.
