About Pathways

A Story of Grace, Hope & 31 Years of Purpose

Pathways Clinic has been a beacon of hope in the Columbia River Gorge region since 1993 β€” providing compassionate, free medical care to women and families facing life’s most unexpected moments.

Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval

Nationally Accredited by The Joint Commission

Pathways Clinic is the first and only pregnancy medical center in the nation to earn this prestigious accreditation β€” a milestone that reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence in care.

Born Out of a Calling to Serve

In 1993, a small group of passionate volunteers in Washougal, Washington answered a calling β€” to stand alongside women facing unplanned pregnancies with compassion, dignity, and hope.

What began as a simple resource center has grown into a fully accredited pregnancy medical clinic, offering free medical care, peer counseling, and family support services to thousands of clients across the Columbia River Gorge region.

Today, Pathways Clinic stands as a testament to what can happen when a community comes together around a shared conviction: that every life has purpose, and every family deserves the support to flourish.

Setting a New Standard for Pregnancy Care

In a landmark moment for pregnancy medical centers nationwide, Pathways Clinic became the first and only pregnancy medical center in the United States to achieve accreditation from The Joint Commission β€” the gold standard in healthcare quality.

This achievement is not just a credential. It is a declaration: that life-affirming care can meet β€” and exceed β€” the highest standards of medical excellence. It is a commitment to every client who walks through our doors that they will receive the very best care, delivered with the utmost professionalism and compassion.

Our accreditation is a gift to our community β€” and it is only possible because of the generous donors and supporters who make Pathways Partners possible.
