About Us
Jewel Women’s Center, (formerly Care Net Pregnancy Center of Schuylkill County) was founded in 1999 by Pastor Robert Stahl of Schuylkill Haven. It was his desire to see “the church” engaged in the care of young women and men facing unplanned pregnancies.
He believed that as Christians, we are called to walk alongside those who choose life for their unborn child by providing education, material assistance and emotional support.
Through the Lord’s continued faithfulness, our ministry has served the communities of Schuylkill County for over twenty years.
Our center is currently located at 103 East Main Street in Schuylkill Haven. God has opened the doors for Jewel Women’s Center to become a fully operational medical facility as of March 2021. Under the supervision of our medical director, Dr. Christopher Pugh, Jewel is able to provide medical-grade pregnancy testing, Ultrasound screenings, and STI testing.
Our passion for those making pregnancy decisions in our community compels us to offer:
- Options counseling which reaches the most vulnerable in our community: the abortion-minded client. We are laser-focused on reaching each and every abortion-determined person in Schuylkill County with the love of Christ in the hope that they will choose life for their child;
- “Earn While You Learn” programs provide education on topics such as pregnancy, newborn care, and parenting. Through participation in these programs, clients earn diapers, wipes, and baby clothing.
- Referrals and engagement with many local social service agencies to provide education for their clients, as well as offering their service to our clients.
- Sexual Risk Avoidance programs, that are known for excellence throughout many districts in our county during the school year. These programs educate and empower students to make healthy sexual choices.
