History

Three Decades of Saving Lives

Corbella Clinic has made excellence a priority in caring for women with unplanned pregnancies throughout three decades of pregnancy services. Making a choice for life accessible for women at risk for abortion continues to be our passion and purpose.

1987 | A group of friends joined forces to address the growing need for a place women could go to learn that they do indeed have options.

1988 | Fox Valley Pregnancy Center opened its doors on Ryerson Avenue in Elgin, offering free pregnancy tests, material assistance, resources, referrals, and other support.

1999 | Fox Valley Pregnancy Center purchased its current location in South Elgin.

2007 | A Parenting Education Program was established.

2010 | Fox Valley Pregnancy Center converted to become a medical clinic and began offering nurse-administered pregnancy testing and ultrasounds.

2015 | Medical services were expanded from 14 hours, 3 days per week to 34 hours, 5 days per week. 

2016 | Fox Valley Pregnancy Center began offering all services in Spanish and English, as well as performing STI testing and treatment.

2017 | The new name Corbella Clinic was adopted to reach a new generation of young men and women. Corbella means “beautiful heart.”

2019 | After discerning a call to focus all of the Clinic’s services on women at risk for abortion, Corbella staff were trained in a new patient process that would help accomplish this goal. Now over half of all patients are at risk for abortion.

2020 | Corbella Clinic began offering Abortion Pill Reversal (APR) services on-site through the Heartbeat International Abortion Pill Rescue Network.

2022 | Corbella purchased a neighboring property with plans of future expansion. The Clinic opened a second medical room and acquired a second ultrasound machine, now having the ability to serve twice as many patients. 

2023 | Corbella Clinic celebrates its 35th anniversary

Corbella Clinic’s community friends and partners are integral to our history. Through you, God has made possible our rich 30+ year history of saving and protecting the lives of precious unborn children and their parents from abortion. Thank you!
