The mission of the Florida Pregnancy Care Network, Inc. is to enhance the efforts of Florida pregnancy resource organizations that deliver wellness services to qualifying women, and that provide emotional and material support to pregnant women in need, enabling them to carry their pregnancies to term and choose parenting or adoption.
The Florida Pregnancy Care Network, Inc. offers a statewide alliance of pregnancy support organizations. As a private non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, FPCN provides financial and other support for member organizations, enabling and assisting them in their mission to support pregnant women in need in Florida.
The network consists of over 100 Florida pregnancy resource organizations providing direct services to pregnant women and their families. These services, including counseling, referral, material support, training and education, help meet the emotional and physical needs of pregnant women and assist them in preparing to parent their baby or place their baby for adoption.
In addition to pregnancy services, FPCN is proud to help providers offer well woman exams free of charge for qualified individuals. The exams can vary, but may include a breast examination, a pelvic examination, and a pap smear. Some FPPSSP providers offer free sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing.
Florida Pregnancy Care Network administers the Florida Pregnancy and Parenting Support Services Program (FPPSSP) for the Florida Department of Health. The purpose of the FPPSSP is to coordinate and enhance the efforts of local pregnancy resource organizations to increase the availability, quality and awareness of pregnancy support services that promote and encourage childbirth.
FPPSSP provides financial reimbursement to pregnancy resource organizations for their expenses incurred in the provision of pregnancy support services, including pregnancy testing, counseling, education, training, and referral to pregnant women and their families. Even though many of the pregnancy support organizations that provide FPPSSP services are faith-based, no proselytization or sharing of religious information is permitted under the program and contracting organizations must ensure that they strictly adhere to this regulation.
FPPSSP provides a state-wide toll-free number and website to connect pregnant women with nearby pregnancy resource organizations. All services are offered at no charge to the women and their families. Services under the FPPSSP can continue for one year following the birth of the child. The Pregnancy Support Services Program has been funded by the Florida Legislature since 2005.

“There is a lot of accounting and NO gray areas with this program. Anyone participating in this program knows the monthly bookkeeping reports and the yearly auditing must be complete and perfect, which is a positive for all concerned. There is never any doubt that the money from this funding is being spent exactly per the requirements. FPCN staff sets the bar very high and we, who benefit from this well-run program, respect their integrity and professionalism.” Gerri Krempel-Rorick
