Luncheon/Speaker Meeting

Time: 11:30 am to 1:00 pm

Location: The Club at McInnis Restaurant,
350 Smith Ranch Road, San Rafael, CA

Speakers

Robin Strom and Susan VanAllen, Marin Pregnancy Clinic Directors

With all the divisiveness surrounding the subject of abortion, it is good to focus objectively on pregnancy and the decisions and needs that accompany every prospective parent.

Marin Pregnancy Clinic (MPC) is a state-licensed prenatal clinic located in Novato, California that provides education, and no cost medical pregnancy services. MPC is staffed with professional, state-licensed doctors and nurses and can help a client take a closer look at their options. They offer evidence-based medical education about pregnancy and abortion. Plus, they can discuss the possibility of helping to make an adoption plan or supporting you in the choice to parent. There are many resources available to you from early ultrasound testing all the way to infant clothing.

Our speakers: Robin Strom and Susan VanAllen. Robin is the Executive Director at MPC and has been there for over 35 years. In addition to managing the clinic and being the primary administrator, she fundraises, writes grants, maintains accounts, orders labs and mentors other Directors.

Susan is the Director of Operations. She served on the MPC Board before becoming an employee. She manages the staff and patient education market, clinic maintenance, and resource closet.

I think we can all appreciate the work and support Marin Pregnancy Clinic provides the underserved community.
