About PRCRGV

Our History

Pregnancy Resource Centers, formerly known as, Pregnancy Testing Centers was founded in February of 1989 by Frank & Tere Painter. The Painters were local entrepreneurs with a vision to help women and families facing unplanned pregnancies through a caring and compassionate heart. 

About PRCRGV

Our Philosophy

We minister with a whole life motivation rather than being simply pro-life. That is, beyond saving the physical life of the baby, our goal is to see that the mother finds true life in Christ and has received care for her physical and spiritual/emotional needs. 

Our Mission

At PRCRGV, our mission is to show the love of Christ by bringing the Gospel of Life to women and families facing unplanned or crisis pregnancies.

Our Vision

Our vision is to reach out to women and families with unplanned pregnancies in a greater capacity by opening PRC centers in different cities across the Rio Grande Valley as the Lord leads us.  

Our Services

We provide essential services guiding you through the crucial initial stages of your prenatal journey. Our goal is to empower you with information and support from the very beginning, ensuring a healthy path forward.

Pregnancy Verification Forms

We provide pregnancy verification forms, which can be used for various purposes, such as insurance or assistance programs. Please ask our staff for more information.  

Ultrasound Referrals

While we do not provide ultrasounds on-site, we can provide referrals to trusted medical facilities where you can receive an ultrasound. Our team can help connect you with these resources. 


Mama & Me : Resource Hub

Pregnancy Resource Centers provide vital support for new and expecting parents. Families can access essential maternity supplies and a well-stocked Mama & Me Pantry, ensuring that both mom and baby are lovingly provided for with everything from diapers and formula to postpartum essentials.

Maternity Supplies

We offer a range of maternity supplies to help you prepare for your baby's arrival and support you in the postpartum period. Our supplies include clothing, hygiene products, and nursing items. 

Baby Pantry

Our baby pantry is stocked with essential items such as diapers, wipes, formula, and clothing to help you care for your baby. We're here to provide support during this important time.  

Our Educational Classes

LIFE Mentorship Programs

Our LIFE Mentorship program provides essential educational tools to equip new and expecting moms for their journey into parenthood. Through group classes, one-on-one mentorship, and practical guidance, we ensure you have the support and knowledge needed to confidently navigate this new chapter. We are proud to partner with trained registered nurses who lead our monthly classes, giving you access to professional, nurturing guidance every step of the way.

Lactation Support

We are proud to announce an upcoming class hosted by Blooming with Grace Lactation designed for moms who are struggling with breastfeeding.

Pregnancy Classes

Our classes, led by Nurse-Family Partnership trained registered nurses, will cover a variety of crucial topics related to your baby's development and life. You'll learn about important developmental milestones, essential baby care, and how to create a nurturing environment that supports your baby's growth and well-being. 

Home Visits

If you are a first-time mother, less than 28 weeks pregnant, and eligible for Medicaid or WIC, you may qualify for free home-visit services from Nurse-Family Partnership trained registered nurses. These services provide guidance on prenatal care, parenting, and baby development, offering a great start for both you and your baby. Visit our center for more information and to see if you are eligible for this program.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@prcrgv.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

If you are a woman of childbearing age or a family seeking support, you are welcome here. We provide free and confidential services to everyone, regardless of socioeconomic status, religion, or race.


The actual distribution of services is brief, lasting approximately 5-10 minutes. However, a full appointment at our center includes gathering necessary information, administering the services, and providing personalized guidance to address any of your concerns. We allocate 45-60 minutes for these comprehensive services. 


We provide follow-up communication to clients who have given us consent. This may include mail, phone calls, or emails. We are committed to respecting your privacy and will not contact you if you request otherwise. 


No, we do not offer contraceptives. Our centers focus on providing resources and support based on biblical principles, including the encouragement of abstinence. 


No, we do not handle adoptions directly. However, we provide referrals to reputable adoption agencies who can guide and support you through the adoption process. 


Pregnancy Resource Centers thrives through the compassionate support of our community. We choose to operate without government assistance, enabling us to freely provide spiritual guidance and share the Gospel with every client. Our funding comes directly from individuals, businesses, partnering churches who’ve embraced us as their local mission's outreach, and our annual fundraising events, including a banquet and 5K.


While we offer prayer as a part of our holistic support, we never impose it on anyone. Our team members will always ask for consent before praying with a client. We fully respect and honor the decisions of clients who decline. 


Our focus is on sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with our clients while they are at our center. We honor each person's right to choose their own church community.
