A Note from the Director
It is my pleasure to welcome you to our website which provides a touchstone for Akron area women and men searching for information on unplanned pregnancies.
Twenty years ago I was brought to APS by the passion in my heart to have a safe place where women could go with the hard decisions of life. A place where they could process through their options and leave with a clear perspective. Today, APS is that place and my passion has not changed.
On a daily basis we see women who are feeling emotionally overwhelmed with what seems like an impossible situation. However, they find that when all the factors affecting their situation and their personal lives are considered a good decision can be made.
Many of our workers have been through some of the same experiences and understand the pressures an unplanned pregnancy may bring. Their knowledge and support is one of the great resources APS offers. We invite you to come in and explore our many resources by making an appointment today.
