The Center for Women is Brevard’s only nonprofit focused primarily on pregnant women, and the only organization in Transylvania County offering free ultrasounds. As a licensed medical clinic, the Center provides no-cost pregnancy testing, limited OB ultrasound to confirm gestational age and viability, confidential counseling, and options education — serving women of all ages, incomes, and backgrounds, regardless of religious affiliation. When a woman learns she is pregnant, it can often be weeks before an OB/GYN appointment is available; the Center fills that gap with timely care and emotional support, establishing long-term relationships that extend well beyond a single visit.
Client visits have grown significantly — from 430 in 2021 to 853 in 2025 — reflecting both rising need and the trust the Center has built in the community. A growing proportion of those clients are Spanish-speaking, with visits from that population increasing 38% between 2024 and 2025 alone. Beyond clinical services, the Center distributes essential supplies including diapers, formula, car seats, and other infant necessities, and offers prenatal and parenting education in partnership with organizations including the Sharing House, El Centro, SAFE, and the Children’s Center.
Lake Toxaway Charities is proud to support The Center for Women and its work to provide compassionate, accessible care to pregnant women and young families across Transylvania County.
