The impetus of CHOICES’ new facility is just that – more choices when it comes to reproductive health. Founded in 1974 as a nonprofit community health agency offering free pregnancy testing, first-trimester abortions and counseling, over the years, CHOICES has evolved into a full gynecology practice. CHOICES’ next mission is creating a national model for combining abortion, birth, adoption and other reproductive services under the same roof with its new 16,000-square-foot center for reproductive health under construction across from Moore Tech on Poplar Avenue.
