It's Our Vision...

It's our vision that no woman would have to pay to know her pregnancy options and support. That's why we've created My Life Clinic to meet the needs of women and families.

We accomplish this vision by partnering with our supporters to continually grow and expand the free services offered through My Life Clinic. Ready to partner with Life Network and help support the mission in Central Missouri? There are so many ways how you can make a difference.
