In the fall of 1990, concerned individuals from several local churches gathered together for a special evening of fundraising and education.The gifts from that event funded the vision of a Christian response to women and teens facing an unplanned pregnancy, and because of their efforts, Whittier Pregnancy Care Clinic was born.Since opening our doors on March 4, 1991, WPCC has served thousands of women and teens from Whittier and the surrounding communities.Several years later, in 1998, WPCC became one of the first pregnancy resource centers to become licensed as a community clinic by the Los Angeles Department of Health

In 1999, WPCC began offering limited diagnostic ultrasound services for the purpose of pregnancy confirmation.That same year, a formal pregnancy support group was implemented forpatients who choose to carry their babies to term, called the Stepping Stones Pregnancy Support Program. Since its inception, Stepping Stones has provided personal support and empowered dozens of young women to become successful mothers, as well as introducing them to the love of Christ. In 2010, WPCC began the Post Abortion Counseling and Education (PACE) program, offering a biblically based, post abortion healing program in a small group format. This program is offered by trained faciliators for those who have experienced abortion and are seeking peace, healing, and restoration.
During the end of 2011, WPCC began a process of making some big internal and external changes to clinic procedures, for the purpose of maximizing assistance to women who are most vulnerable to the pressures of abortion. The goal is to eventually double and triple the number of patients that are served, as well as offer an after hours helpline and STI (sexually transmitted infection) testing for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia.
Through the years, with the addition of each service, Whittier Pregnancy Care Clinic has continued to hold fast to the Christian principles upon which we were founded.It is our deepest desire that each life we touch experiences the love and grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ
