Our History
This year marks five decades of life-affirming care in the Twin Cities. What started as a single center has grown into a multi-location mission, meeting women where they are with compassion, dignity, and hope. Let’s take a journey through the milestones that define our story:
1975
The University Life Care Center (ULCC) opens near the University of Minnesota in Dinkytown as Minnesota’s first pregnancy resource center under the Total Life Care (TLC) umbrella.
2001
The Highland Life Care Center (HLCC) opens in St. Paul’s Highland neighborhood, just steps from Planned Parenthood.
2012
ULCC and HLCC combine resources and work together to expand their reach to better serve women and families in the Twin Cities.
2015
ULCC and HLCC rebrand as Abria Pregnancy Resources and opens its flagship St. Paul clinic, located near Planned Parenthood. This move places our services at the heart of the urban core, easily accessible to the women who need us most.
2018
Northside Pregnancy Options (est. in 1978) joins Abria as our Northside Clinic, featuring state-of-the-art facilities.
2025
Abria marks 50 years of service to thousands of women seeking a choice for life!
