[Lansdowne, VA] — [February 19, 2025] — Care Net (www.care-net.org) and ICU Mobile (www.icumobile.org), two leading organizations in the pro-life movement, are thrilled to announce their strategic merger. This collaboration brings together Care Net’s extensive network of over 1,200 affiliated pregnancy centers and ICU Mobile’s innovative mobile ultrasound ministry to reach more women and men at risk for choosing abortion. Together, the unified organization will expand its ability to offer Gospel-centered care, practical resources, and life-affirming options.
The merger reflects a shared mission to provide compassion, hope, and help to those facing unplanned pregnancies. By combining resources, expertise, and outreach strategies, the organizations will enhance their capacity to:

- Equip churches and pregnancy centers to serve effectively: The merger will amplify efforts to mobilize churches and equip them with tools, training, and resources to offer life-affirming support within their communities.
- Offer holistic care and education: With Care Net’s deep experience in pregnancy decision coaching and ICU Mobile’s ability to bring services directly to clients, the organizations will provide a seamless continuum of care, addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
- Share the gospel of Jesus Christ with those facing unplanned or unexpectedly complicated pregnancies: Through their merger, Care Net and ICU Mobile will further their shared commitment to sharing the gospel and making disciples for Christ by integrating spiritual support into every aspect of their services, offering clients opportunities to learn about God’s love and the hope found in Christ.
“Together, we can do more than we ever could apart,” said Roland Warren, president and CEO of Care Net. “This merger is a powerful step toward making Care Net’s Pro Abundant Life vision a reality by ensuring that more women and men receive the support they need to choose life for their unborn children and abundant life for their families.”
Sylvia Slifko, Founder and Board Chair of ICU Mobile, echoed this sentiment: “By joining forces, we’re creating a unified front to bring critical services and the message of hope to those who need it most. Our collaboration will make life-affirming care accessible to even more communities. And our shared commitment to sharing the gospel with those we serve will be further strengthened.”
This merger cements Care Net’s holistic approach to client care, ensuring that women and men at risk for choosing abortion are supported in diverse settings, using various technologies, and at every stage of their pregnancy decision-making journey.
