Obria Medical Clinics fosters a culture of kindness and understanding. With staff having had unplanned pregnancies of their own…some chose to parent, a few chose to parent through adoption, and some chose abortion. Many faced those trying times by themselves, without support from family or friends. Our mission is to give encouragement, comfort, information, options, and hope during confusing times. Obria is an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry on, a warm body to hug, and a place free from judgment; where people share concerns about pregnancy or STDs with caring medical professionals helping thousands get through STD testing,
pregnancy testing, and guidance.

Unity, Liberty, Charity
In essential beliefs — we have unity. "There is one Body and one Spirit…there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of us all…" (Ephesians 4:4-6)
In non-essential beliefs — we have liberty. "Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on disputable matters…" (Romans 14:1) "Who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To his own master he stands or falls…" (Romans 14:4) "So whatever you believe about these things keep between yourself and God." (Romans 14:22)
In all our beliefs — we show charity "If I hold in my mind not only all human knowledge but also the very secrets of God, and if I have the faith that can move mountains -but have no love, I amount to nothing at all." (I Corinthians 13:2)
