About Us

Preterm is Ohio's largest independent abortion clinic. We provide safe, compassionate abortion care and related services in a standard-setting, environmentally sustainable facility. We were founded as a nonprofit with a goal of providing abortion care regardless of a patient's ability to pay.

We were founded shortly after the US Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. From our grassroots beginning we've evolved into a professional, licensed ambulatory surgical facility.

We also provide other sexual health services such as birth control options, STD testing and treatment, wellness care, and culturally responsive care for LGBTQ patients. Our entire staff is dedicated to providing the highest quality healthcare, with compassion and without judgment.

We advocate for a person's right to access abortion, to determine whether or when to have children, to become a parent and to parent with dignity, to have healthy pregnancies, and to have healthy and safe families and relationships. Central to our mission is providing subsidized care for patients who are not otherwise able to pay for their services.

Preterm is LEED Silver certified under the Existing Buildings program. (LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). We strive to be "green" in everything from our building systems to policies for purchasing and maintenance to educating our staff, our clients, and our neighborhood and networks about the importance and practicality of sustainable behavior.

It is our goal that every patient leaves Preterm feeling empowered and affirmed.
