A Legacy Moment: 32 Years of Service and the Next Chapter for Pathways Clinic

Dear Friends,

Thirty-two years ago, someone believed that a woman facing an unexpected pregnancy should never have to face it alone.

She should have a safe place to go. A place where care was free, private, compassionate, and filled with grace.

That belief became Pathways Clinic.

Because of faithful supporters like you, Pathways has continued opening its doors for more than three decades, offering pregnancy testing, ultrasound, STI services, parenting education, material support, and the hope of Christ to women, men, and families across our community.

Today, we have significant news to share, and we are asking you to help carry this mission into its next chapter.

32 Years of Service β€” And Still Growing

In 2025, Pathways Clinic provided 2,188 appointments for patients from across our region. Through the first half of 2026 alone, we have already provided 1,037 appointments, putting us on pace to match last year’s volume even as we navigate one of the most significant transitions in our history. The need in our community is not shrinking. If anything, it is growing. And by God’s grace, so are we.

We Earned National Accreditation

This year, Pathways Clinic achieved accreditation through The Joint Commission, the nation’s most respected symbol of quality and patient safety in healthcare.

This milestone reflects far more than a certificate on the wall. It represents years of faithful work, careful preparation, medical excellence, and a deep commitment to serving every patient with dignity, compassion, and the highest standard of care.

Every patient who walks through our doors receives care that is not only free and compassionate, but nationally accredited.

A New Clinic, A Steadfast Mission

We want to be transparent with you: Pathways Clinic is moving.

Short-notice changes to the terms of our current clinic location, combined with steady growth in patient volume and the limits of our existing space, required us to make a major decision sooner than expected.

But one priority guided every step: keeping care available to the people who depend on us.

We have signed a lease on a new primary clinic in Vancouver, Washington, with services scheduled to open in September. The data made this decision clear. In 2025, nearly 43% of all appointments came from Vancouver, the largest share of any community we serve.

Where Our Patients Came From in 2025

  • Vancouver: 939 appointments β€” 43% of all appointments provided
  • Washougal: 746 appointments β€” 34% of all appointments provided
  • Camas: 168 appointments β€” 8% of all appointments provided

Together, Vancouver, Washougal, and Camas represented 85% of the appointments we provided last year.

This data also tells us something very important: Washougal and Camas remain central to our mission. Together, they represent nearly as many appointments as Vancouver. We are not abandoning the communities that built Pathways. We are actively searching for affordable or donated space in Camas or Washougal so we can maintain a local presence here as well.

If you know of available space, have a connection, or have ideas that could help us remain present in Camas or Washougal, we would be grateful to hear from you. Please contact us directly at 360-834-7256 or visit www.pathwayspartners.care.

This Is a Legacy Moment

Thirty-two years of ministry is not an accident.

It is the result of thousands of faithful decisions: to give, to volunteer, to pray, to open the door, to answer the phone, to sit with someone in fear, and to believe that every life is worth showing up for.

Many of you have been part of this story from the beginning. Some of you have given year after year. Some of you have sent neighbors, daughters, friends, and family members to Pathways because you knew they would be received with compassion and without judgment.

This transition is one of the most significant chapters in our history since Pathways first opened its doors.

And like every chapter before it, this one will only be possible because of people who believe what we believe: that every life is worth protecting, every patient deserves excellent care, and every person should be met with compassion, truth, and hope.

Pathways Legacy Fund: Paving the Way for Life. A 32 year legacy of life, building forward for the next generation.

That is why we are launching the Pathways Legacy Capital Campaign with a goal of raising $100,000.

This campaign is not simply about funding a move. It is about building the next chapter of Pathways Clinic with wisdom, stability, and faithfulness. Your gift will help strengthen our future by supporting the new Vancouver clinic, equipping our medical and patient care spaces, offsetting the added rent and operating expenses of maintaining a second location, and protecting the continuity of care during this transition.

We want to steward every dollar responsibly and remain true to the budget entrusted to us. This campaign allows us to move forward without compromising services, overextending our operating budget, or stepping away from the communities that have helped build Pathways for more than three decades.

Every dollar given to this campaign helps ensure that patients continue to have immediate access to free, compassionate, confidential care today, while helping build a stable foundation for the future of Pathways Clinic.

How You Can Be Part of This Legacy

Would you prayerfully consider making a special gift to the Pathways Legacy Capital Campaign?

Every gift matters. Every gift helps keep care available. Every gift becomes part of the next chapter of this ministry.

Securing Pathways’ Legacy for the Future

  • Legacy Founder: $10,000+ β€” Naming recognition in the new Vancouver clinic and on the permanent legacy wall
  • Legacy Builder: $5,000 β€” Recognition in our inaugural space and campaign honor roll
  • Legacy Partner: $2,500 β€” Recognition in our annual report and campaign donor wall
  • Legacy Friend: $1,000 β€” Recognition as a founding supporter of this next chapter
  • Monthly Giving: $25–$100/month β€” Sustains operations through and beyond the transition

Monthly giving is especially meaningful right now. Predictable, recurring support allows us to meet new lease obligations, offset the added expenses of serving from more than one location, keep our 24/7 nurse chat line available, and continue caring for patients without interruption.

A gift of $25 per month becomes $300 over the course of a year. Whatever amount you give, you can know your generosity is working every month for patients who need help, hope, and a safe place to turn.

You can also call us personally at 360-834-7256. We would be honored to speak with you.

Thirty-two years ago, someone opened a door.

Because of you, Pathways is still walking through it, still holding it open, and still making room for the next woman, man, child, and family who needs compassionate care.

With deep gratitude,
