At our UCSF Pregnancy Options Centers, we care for individuals seeking elective abortion, treatment for miscarriage, and pregnancy termination due to health problems of the mother or fetus. We also provide counseling and contraceptive options, including emergency contraception and medication abortion options.
Our centers' counselors provide individual counseling and patient education before the abortion and offer support during and after the procedure. Licensed nursing staff give patients the highest quality of care and support.
