LaVie does not provide birth control or abortion services
A young woman shared her testimony of her unplanned pregnancy in high school. A Sunday school teacher reacted to woman’s testimony by helping launch an alternative to abortion clinics.
Doors opened for Billings Crisis Pregnancy Center.
Change name to Carenet Pregnancy Center of Billings to take advantage of national advertising.
Operated Broadwater location offering counseling, free pregnancy tests, and material assistance.
Approval granted to add medical services in hopes of reaching more abortion-minded women.
A second location opened in the heights – adjacent to the surgical abortion facility. Heights Clinic offered free services – medical consultations, pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and prenatal classes, resulting in increased abortion-minded women utilizing services.
After seeing the impact of the medical services, the Broadwater location was remodeled and reopened with medical services.
Two clinics operated simultaneously, offering counseling, free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds with RNs, and daily prenatal classes. The need to add a medical provider at our Heights location was identified.
Changed name to LaVie and moved into remodeled St. Vincent Healthcare medical facility in the Heights, offering a wide variety of women’s medical services.
Our services/marketing/staff were revamped with the intention of becoming more relevant to our demographics. A physician joined LaVie Heights. The number of women being served, particularly abortion mined, reached an all-time high.
Free STI exams added, resulting in seeing more female and now male patients. Added services continue to be secondary to pregnancy tests and ultrasounds. Services allow more opportunities to educate patients on lifestyle choices, abstinence, and their faith.
LaVie Heights began offering Saturday hours.
A record number of abortion minded women served, up 27% over the prior year.
Made purchases to improve ultrasound technology and, thus, providing the best life-affirming imagery for our patients. Genesis 1:27
LaVie celebrated 30 years in the Billings community.
LaVie purchased a new building at 2501 4th Ave N! St. Vincent Hospital, who generously bestowed LaVie the use of their building made alternate plans for their property. Thus, the Heights Clinic moved back to its original location.
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal rights to abortion. Now, each state determines local abortion laws. In Montana, abortion is banned at viability, generally 24 weeks of pregnancy, and state Medicaid funds cover abortion. Although the overturning of Roe v. Wade is a step in the right direction, abortion is proving to be more accessible than ever with the increase in medical “at-home” abortions.
Renovations at LaVie’s new building have begun! By streamlining our overhead and staffing resources, our new clinic location continues to be a safe, positive alternative to an abortion facility with more room to grow and improving our life-affirming services and support for our patients.
LaVie has a new look! Rebranding is a strategic step in staying relevant as we work to serve women facing unplanned pregnancies as effectively as possible. This rebranding was initiated with the intention of creating a more professional look for LaVie that would appeal to more abortion-determined women seeking trustworthy medical care. This branding establishes LaVie as a quality medical clinic staffed with registered nurses and state-of-the-art technology
LaVie will be moving to our new forever home! Located at 2501 4th Ave N, LaVie will be positioned downtown and connected to the medical corridor and closer to other community resources.
