Founded In 1983
Vida began in 1983 when a group of faith‑filled advocates answered a call to provide hope, truth, and compassionate care for individuals facing unexpected pregnancy or parenting under difficult circumstances. As the Fox Valley community’s needs grew, Vida expanded into a full-service clinic, material support centre and maternity home, now serving thousands of men, women, and families each year with free medical and support services.
