Services

Hillcrest Clinic was established initially in the Washington, D.C. area in May 1971. It was one of the first pregnancy termination centers and evolved out of a growing need in the community for abortion services. The Clinic has grown tremendously over the years in staff, physical facility and service.

From the outset, Hillcrest has had three main objectives. The first objective has been to develop community outreach programs and educational services in the field of reproductive health care and related services with emphasis not only on professionals but also encompassing the community-at-large. The second objective has been to provide pregnancy termination and birth control services at a cost that women in the community can reasonably afford. The third, and most important objective, has been to provide an out-patient clinic with medical, nursing, counseling and laboratory personnel specialized in assisting patients who are faced with the problem of unwanted pregnancies in an atmosphere of understanding and respect, and with strict confidentiality.
