Why are you hiring a Nurse Practitioner?

At HPC, our staff serve clients from all walks of life — including those with no insurance, pre-existing conditions, and a variety of health concerns. By adding a nurse practitioner to our team, we can expand the range of care we provide through services such as well-woman exams, early prenatal care, full-panel STI testing and treatment for both women and men, and other comprehensive medical care.

Our goal is to remove barriers that prevent patients from getting the help they need and to add value to our community by offering high-quality, compassionate care to everyone who walks through our doors. Every person deserves a judgment-free environment where they can discuss their pregnancy options and sexual health with a qualified medical professional they can trust.

Why are you moving to offer more comprehensive care with a Nurse Practitioner?

We’re expanding our services by hiring a Nurse Practitioner in response to the rapidly changing medical landscape in Idaho and Oregon. To remain relevant and effective in serving our communities, HPC must continue offering clients comprehensive, compassionate, and life-changing medical care—all at no cost to them.

With limited OB care in our area, our patients find it difficult to receive medical care in a timely manner, especially during the first trimester. Our clients are often lower income and nutritionally challenged and can face increased pregnancy risks because of this. Early pregnancy detection, intervention, and support can help these otherwise vulnerable women get the help and support they need in early pregnancy.  Having a competent, compassionate, nurse practitioner who’s already established a working relationship with these women would increase our ability to help them and to intervene during their time of need.  These women would already know our staff and our provider and would hopefully feel comfortable and safe coming to us if they experience a crisis pregnancy or unexpected STI.

In Idaho, minors are unable to access medical services without parental consent, and many teens facing an unexpected pregnancy feel uncertain or afraid to seek help. By offering a broader range of free medical services under the guidance of a Nurse Practitioner, we hope to reach these young people earlier—helping them understand their options, receive accurate information, and experience holistic care before making a life-altering decision.

What sets HPC apart is our commitment to meet the growing physical, emotional, and mental needs of clients while sharing the gospel and love of Christ. Expanding our medical services helps us build more relationships, giving clients a compelling reason to come to us first for support and comprehensive healthcare.

How much will it cost to hire a Nurse Practitioner?

Our ministry currently operates on a budget of $387,000 per year, but with the addition of a nurse practitioner, we’ll need to raise funds for potential clinic (office) remodeling, medical accreditation, medical supplies and equipment, plus a rebrand with a name update and a new outdoor sign. We will increase our annual budget to $487,000 per year. With God’s help we hope this number will be less.

Every gift to Hope Pregnancy Center directly changes lives. Your support ensures women and families in the Treasure Valley have access to compassionate, judgment-free medical care and guidance during some of life’s most critical moments. Together, we can remove barriers, offer hope, and make a lasting impact—every dollar matters.
