The organization, founded in March 1989 by a group of pro-life Christians, was rebranded to better represent its message and services, which is to empower women and provide life-affirming clinical care to women facing unexpected pregnancies, Executive Director Kelli McAnally said.

The clinic has medical personnel on-site and provides free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, lab testing and workshops to help women through their pregnancy and the first year of a baby’s life. From there, McAnally said the clinic will help resource parents to other nonprofits or organizations to help them through the next steps of their parenting journey.
“I really want to help our community and to help women understand the choices that they're making and help them feel really educated,” McAnally said. “I just don't want anyone to ever walk out and say, ‘I wish they would have told me,’ or ‘I wish I would have known more about this.’”
McAnally said Adira Clinic has helped over 10,000 women since its launch. In 2024, the clinic:
- Helped 1,218 newly pregnant women
- Performed 1,177 ultrasounds
- Provided 955 packages of diapers
- Conducted 475 lab tests
The nonprofit’s rebrand focused on solely changing the name and icon representing the clinic, which is now an olive branch; nothing has changed about the clinic’s services or mission, McAnally said.
McAnally said she could see the clinic adding more medical services for pregnant women down the road; however, for now the nonprofit’s biggest aim is to help as many women as they possibly can while they begin their journey into pregnancy.
“I'm passionate that women who maybe did not have the same help that some of us have had as they were growing up, that they could receive that help from us,” McAnally said.
