Care Net and ICU Mobile Merge

Combination of network and mobile units will increase access to life-giving care

Care Net and ICU Mobile, two highly rated pro-life organizations in the MinistryWatch database, announced this week a strategic merger to expand their network of life-affirming care.

The merger unites Care Net’s network of over 1,200 affiliated pregnancy centers with ICU Mobile’s mobile ultrasound ministry, a move they say will enhance their ability to reach women and men at risk of choosing abortion.

Care Net, known for its life-affirming network of pregnancy centers, churches, organizations, and individuals, offers Christ-centered support and realistic alternatives to those considering abortion.

ICU Mobile is a national organization that operates a fleet of mobile medical units offering free ultrasounds, pregnancy tests, and counseling for women facing unintended pregnancies.

Through the merger, the two organizations aim to enhance their reach and deliver life-saving care directly to women, especially in underserved and remote communities.

A joint press release says ICU Mobile’s mobile units will integrate with Care Net’s pregnancy centers and church networks, allowing for a more significant impact at critical decision points. They say the partnership will amplify efforts to train and mobilize churches to provide life-affirming support, equipping them with the necessary tools and resources to serve women and families in need.

Beyond physical and practical assistance, both organizations deploy a holistic approach to care. Care Net’s focus on pregnancy decision coaching and ICU Mobile’s ability to deliver services directly to clients are expected to create a seamless continuum of support that addresses physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.

Continuing in both organizations’ mission to share the gospel with those facing unplanned or unexpectedly complicated pregnancies, they plan to integrate spiritual support into every aspect of their services, offering clients opportunities to learn about God’s love and the hope in Christ.

Care Net’s CEO said the companies could accomplish more together than apart. “This merger is a powerful step toward making Care Net’s Pro Abundant Life vision a reality by ensuring that more women and men receive the support they need to choose life for their unborn children and abundant life for their families.”

Sylvia Slifko, founder and board chair of ICU Mobile, added that the collaboration will bring critical services and a message of hope to more communities. “By joining forces, we are making life-affirming care more accessible and strengthening our shared mission to share the Gospel with those we serve,” she said.
