Care Net presented 7 awards at its 2015 National Conference to winners selected from over 1,100 affiliates. Centers and leaders earmed the awards by serving the women and men in their communities.
“Thanks to the dedication of these leaders, tens of thousands of women and men have been empowered to make life-affirming pregnancy decisions and have been supported in their choice,” Care Net VP of Center Services and Client Care Cynthia Hopkins said.
Wayne Pregnancy Care Center of Goldsboro, NC won the Guy Condon Presidential Award, for a holistic approach to client care. The Wayne Pregnancy Care Center emphasizes marriage, fatherhood, and motherhood. This center also focuses on “life support,” the number of churches willing to provide ongoing support for mothers and couples.
