Thanks to a partnership with Knights of Columbus Council 3640 from St. Thomas More Parish in Brookings, Option 1 pregnancy center has expanded its services to include ultrasound and has converted to a pregnancy help medical clinic. Converting to a pregnancy help medical clinic with free ultrasound increases Option 1’s services to women, expanding the organization’s mission and helping more pregnant women in need.

Since 2009, Knights at the state and local levels have partnered with the Knights of Columbus headquarters to fund ultrasound machines for use by pregnancy care centers through the Knights’ Ultrasound program.
