Ultrasound services available
Free first-trimester ultrasounds have been added to the services offered by Heartbeat of Toledo Pregnancy Support
Center.
“We utilize the ultrasound to confirm a viable, intrauterine pregnancy and to measure gestational age of the baby,” Donna McHaffie, Heartbeat’s nurse manager, said.
The early pregnancy center officially opened Jan. 24. Initially the clinic will be open Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The medical center is located at Heartbeat’s main office, 2130 Madison Ave., across from Mercy College.
The Heartbeat office will continue to be open Mondays through Fridays.
“Women facing an unplanned pregnancy often have many questions and concerns,” Mrs. McHaffie noted. “These women need to get as much information as possible before making a decision regarding the future of their pregnancies. An ultrasound is a vital tool in making that decision.”
Besides offering ultrasounds the new early pregnancy center will offer patients the opportunity to have a pregnancy test and consult with a registered nurse. Heartbeat client advocates will also be available to assist women with options counseling and help finding needed resources. All services are free and confidential. To make an appointment at the center, call 419-241-9131.
