About Harmony

Harmony Women’s Care was founded in 1988 by a group of dedicated community members who sought to provide compassionate support and practical resources for women facing unplanned pregnancies in Rhode Island. The first center, originally called the South County Crisis Pregnancy Center, opened in Wakefield in 1989 and primarily served students at the University of Rhode Island.

More than a decade later, the center—renamed CareNet-Rhode Island—relocated to Cranston and, in 2010, moved again to Providence. Over the years, the organization grew steadily and began preparing to offer a wider range of medical services. In 2013, a fire caused significant damage to the Providence facility, prompting a temporary move just a few blocks away.

In response to this challenge, the staff and board focused on strengthening the organization. They developed a medical care model designed to provide timely, supportive, and evidence-based services to women facing unexpected pregnancies. The team expanded medical offerings, including pregnancy testing, early ultrasounds, and STD testing and treatment, while also ensuring staff training and patient care remained at the highest standards.

By January 2016, the rebranded Harmony Women’s Care launched a medical program designed to empower women with the information, resources, and support they need to make confident choices about their unexpected pregnancies.

In 2022, Harmony purchased, renovated, and moved into a new clinic on North Main Street in Providence, enabling expanded services and improved access for patients across the region.

Since launching this model in 2016, Harmony Women’s Care has:

Supported hundreds of women in need of early pregnancy care.
Provided thousands of dollars’ worth of free medical services.
Expanded community referrals, education, and support resources.

Today, Harmony’s mission remains centered on empowering women through compassionate care, practical resources, and holistic support. The organization exists to ensure that no woman in Rhode Island faces pregnancy-related decisions alone.
