About the Center

The Bakersfield Pregnancy Center was founded in 1985. Since its inception, the BPC has served over 40,000 clients and their families with pregnancy-related services.

It moved to its current location at 1801 18th Street in Downtown Bakersfield in May of 2018 where it currently offers free pregnancy tests, medical pregnancy verification, first-trimester limited ultrasound, post- abortion and post-miscarriage peer counseling programs, abstinence education parenting classes in both English and Spanish, baby showers and material support.  

The Center currently serves 300-400 in-office clients per month.  More are also served through school and community educational events.

The Center is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) charitable corporation, with a California State Primary Care Medical Clinic license.  Dr. Gene Roos, D.O., is the volunteer Medical Director and Dr. Juan Lopez, Ob/Gyn serves as our Assistant Medical Director.

The BPC is funded primarily by private individuals, businesses and local churches. Government funds comprise less than 5 per cent of the operating budget.

All BPC services are offered free of charge.

The BPC is a member of Care Net® , an affiliation of over 1100 Pregnancy Help Centers nationwide.  For more information about Care Net®, go to www.care-net.org.
