(COLORADO SPRINGS) — A new pregnancy center will be providing services to eastern Colorado Springs starting Thursday, Oct. 24. The Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center, located on Meridian Road, held a ribbon cutting hosted by Colorado Springs non-profit Life Network on Wednesday, with an inside look at the facility. This fourth location of the Colorado Springs Pregnancy Center will provide free services such as pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, STD testing, and parenting education to empower families on their new journey. Through its parenting education programs, clients meet regularly with a parenting coach and earn materials and resources they will need, such as a crib, car seat, diapers, baby clothes, and more, made possible by local donors.
