When making important decisions like having an abortion, it is important to get all the facts so you can make an informed decision. EPS offers free pregnancy tests that are professional quality, high-sensitivity urine tests with results in minutes. Pregnancy tests detect hCG in the urine, a hormone present during pregnancy. It is most accurate to test for pregnancy after a missed period. Following a positive urine pregnancy test, you may qualify for a free ultrasound at EPS. An ultrasound can determine how far along you are and if this is a viable pregnancy. 

No, you may come in alone. Even though you are a minor, you have the right to confidential help, except in cases where mandatory reporting applies. We will not provide your records to any person without written authorization from you.

We prefer appointments, but walk-ins are welcome at two of our locations – Maple Village and Bellevue. Scheduling an appointment is the best way to ensure we have a special time set aside to talk with you. If you are unable to make an appointment, you may walk-in to the Maple Village and Bellevue centers during open hours and we will see you as soon as possible.

Absolutely! It is important to us that you feel supported. We initially begin all appointments with you alone. Any friends or family that are present will be asked to join us at the appropriate time. If a trusted friend or family member would like to join you, please let them know they are welcome.

Please bring a photo identification card with you, such as a driver’s license, passport or state ID. No insurance is required and all services at EPS are free.

Yes. As a part of our pregnancy confirmation services, we provide a 1st trimester limited obstetric ultrasound scan to help you know if your pregnancy is viable. If you do not have a viable/progressing pregnancy*, there is no reason for you to pay for an abortion. And we do not charge for ultrasound scans. All services at EPS are 100 percent cost free.

*The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) estimates that miscarriage/spontaneous abortion is the most common form of pregnancy loss. It is estimated that as many as 26 percent of all pregnancies end in miscarriage and up to 10 percent of clinically recognized pregnancies.

All services provided at EPS are kept confidential with the exception of cases that we are required by law to report for the protection of yourself or others. You do not have to worry about family or friends finding out about your visit to EPS. We will do everything we can to protect your privacy. 

Many women who visit EPS come for support. Some have realized they are having a hard time after their abortion. We are here to support you no matter what choices you have made, and we will listen to you and offer you help in a safe and understanding environment. We also have a professional counselor on staff who specializes in post-abortive counseling. All of our services are free.
