Eight Clinics Join Together To Form New Women’s Health Network In Major Texas Metro Areas

The Source Launches Sept. 30 to Fill Void in Women’s Healthcare

AUSTIN, Texas – The Source, a nonprofit organization, today announced a new network of women’s health clinics across the state of Texas that will provide free and low-cost healthcare to clients in the major metro areas of Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Eight clinics will be joining together to provide these women’s health services.

“There is a huge void in women’s healthcare in Texas. Our state is unfortunately among the leaders in both maternal mortality rates and unplanned pregnancies,” said Andy Schoonover, CEO of The Source. “We are creating this network so that every woman in Texas has a safe place to express her healthcare concerns and get the care and attention she deserves.”

Over the next six months, the network will expand existing services to bring clients an extensive portfolio of women’s healthcare services including prenatal exams, cancer screenings, well-woman exams, contraception education and medical support, STD/STI testing and treatment, pregnancy tests, and ultrasounds.

“I’m excited to be involved as a Board Member at The Source,” said Ingrid Skop, M.D., F.A.C.O.G. “The Source was created for a cause that I wholeheartedly support; giving all women in the state of Texas access to free or very affordable, high-quality, whole-person reproductive healthcare. I believe this network will be very effective in taking a proactive approach to reducing unplanned pregnancies.”

In addition to healthcare related services, The Source will provide material and financial assistance for families with young children in need. The clinics will assist women who do not have health insurance and will offer mental health support as well as reproductive and parenting education.

The Source is embarking upon a $20 million capital campaign to build and/or merge with 20 additional clinics over the next five years to give every woman in Texas better options for her healthcare needs.

The Source is a network of women’s health clinics with a goal to reduce unplanned pregnancies and maternal mortality in Texas.

The network consists of eight clinics throughout Austin, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. As a 501(c)(3), the network is primarily funded through private donors, which allows The Source to take a relational approach to healthcare delivery, ensuring each client can create a personalized healthcare solution that helps her live her best life.

The Source expects to add an additional 20 clinics over the next five years. The network welcomes women of every race, creed, sexual orientation, income level or immigration status. Services may vary by location. For more information, visit TheSource.org.
