The Pregnancy Resource Centers of the RGV

Our Mission
The mission of the Pregnancy Resource Centers is to reach out with the love of Christ to those in unplanned pregnancy situations by informing them of positive alternatives to abortion, providing life-affirming physical, mental, and spiritual health care, encouraging abstinence outside of marriage, and providing necessary resources to those who have chosen life, as well as, compassionately embracing those who have suffered the trauma of abortion.

Our History
The 4 Pregnancy Testing Centers (PTC), dba Pregnancy Resource Centers (PRC), a 501(c)(3) organization, are located in the Rio Grande Valley of South Texas. Started in a private home by a Frank and Tere Painter in 1989 who saw the existing need, services have expanded over the years to include several counties along the Texas / Mexico border. Statistics in Texas show these areas to be among the poorest in both socioeconomic status, and in affordable, accessible obstetrical and preventative care for women. Now focusing on 1 center in Mission area we hope to continue the cause for life.
