Our Mission
Pregnancy Resource Center is here to serve the women and men in Bay County to educate, encourage and support them in their crisis pregnancy.
In 1984, a core group of women began researching how to start a pregnancy center in Bay County and joined forces with Christian Action Council (CAC), now known as CareNet. Together, the Pregnancy Resource Center was founded and we began to serve the women and men of Bay County and Northwest Florida.
We originally started on Magnolia Ave, then to 23rd for 8 years, then moved to Grace Ave for 15 years, until Hurricane Michael. We are now located on 701 Jenks Ave, Panama City, Florida.
The center has had 5 directors; the current Executive Director is Pati Adams. Although the leadership and volunteers of the center have changed through out the years, our goal and mission has not changed.
Clinic Hours
Monday: 9AM — 4pm
Tuesday: 9AM – 4pm

Parenting Classes
The classes will no longer meet in the center for now however, the lessons are sent to the clients weekly by text or email. Dads may also receive their own lessons. Moms and dads earn diapers, wipes, and clothes for each week’s lessons which are completed. They will be able to call the center to schedule a pickup time for the items they have earned and the staff will deliver the items to their cars.
The Center is now accepting donations of diapers, wipes, and new or gently used baby clothes for sizes newborn to 24 months.
For legal reasons, we are not accepting furniture, car seats, cribs, crib bumpers, pack-n-plays, and doorway Johnny-Jump-Ups.

I was living in the Chicago area when God called me into the pro-life arena 24 years ago. Through this ministry, God has healed me from my 3 abortions and now my life’s mission is to educate women and minister to those in a crisis pregnancy. I am using my voice because my 3 children(Ryan, Stephanie and Timothy) do not have a voice. I want to give God all the Glory!!
I’ve been with the Pregnancy Resource Center since February 2017. I feel that God has placed me here to help with this mission. I truly love my job!
I began volunteering at the Pregnancy Resource Center in 2022 after retiring from teaching. My heart was immediately drawn to the center, the staff, the volunteers, our clients and their families. It is such a special ministry and I am so glad that God allows me to be part of it.
I have been a nurse for over 18 years. I am so thankful that God has allowed me to be part of His plan for the Pregnancy Resource Center and for the families that we serve. Every baby is a gift from God, a demonstration of His love and grace.
My name is Abby Brooks and I am the Director of Development here at the Pregnancy Resource Center. I first heard about the PRC after attending one of their annual fundraising banquets. I have always been pro-life, but after attending the banquet and hearing the statistics of many lives being lost I realized the true need of the PRC and the great impact that they were making. I knew this was something I was passionate about and that I wanted to be a part of.
My name is Lori and I am one of the sonographers at the Pregnancy Resource Center. Many don’t realize that the PRC exists and does such great work serving our community. I am privileged to be a small part of the mission to support our clients.
Through a series of God ordained timing, I was led to the Receptionist Desk here at the PRC. It’s truly my joy and honor to serve my community & my Lord alongside amazing people!
Dr. Deborah Edgeworth is an obstetrics & gynecology specialist and has 31 years of experience. She graduated from the University of Texas, Southwest Medical Center. She completed her residency at Keesler Air Force Base Medical Center. We are very blessed to have Dr. Edgeworth on our team!
I feel so blessed to be part of this ministry. In 2023, I retired after 37 years of nursing in woman and children services. For many years, I have felt a calling to volunteer because of personal experiences, my love for woman in crisis, and desire to be in a ministry to women that may not have the support and encouragement they need.
I will certainly preserve the life I am carrying based on the counseling received.
Give, so a life can live
