About This Cause
With a vision to offer hope and practical help to women facing an unexpected pregnancy decision, a group of concerned individuals in Red Deer began their work to establish a pregnancy care centre in 1986. The Pregnancy Care Centre became a registered society and opened its doors in 1988 under the name Red Deer Crisis Pregnancy Care Centre. The name was changed to Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Centre in the fall of 1992 to reflect our geographical outreach and service more accurately. Over the years, the CAPCC has grown to offer unique programs and services throughout Central Alberta.
