WHO WE ARE

Message From Our CEO

This past year through your faithful support at RealOptions, you have helped us safeguard over 5300 individual lives of women, men, children, and students through our five medical clinics, in classrooms, and through our pregnancy loss healing programs. 

This past year we were able to accomplish this by:

  1. Expanding into new territory in Oakland and Redwood City. The merger with support Circle became official in March and we have been hard at work.  
  2. Adding additional services in these clinics which include: Well Woman Care, STD Testing and Treatment, Prenatal Care, and Abortion Pill Reversal. 
  3. Expanding the hours of operation and staffing these clinic locations to full time five days per week with our Medical and Optimal Health teams.
  4. Adding brand new ultrasound equipment that has been added to each of our five clinics.
  5. Investing in comprehensive digital marketing through Google & Yelp  growing our unique patient care visits by over 100% in these new territories!

 

RealOptions teaches Sexual Risk Avoidance and relationship skills to youth between 5th and 12th grade through our Optimal Health Education and equips parents throughout the year offering parent webinars, parent teaching nights, and quarterly newsletters. Our education efforts are thriving and are projected to teach 2400 students and parents this year.
