Stanton Healthcare 

Stanton Healthcare of Southern California will host its Walk for Life at 5 p.m. on May 10 at Sultana High School, 17311 Sultana St. in Hesperia.

The Victorville-based Stanton Healthcare is best known for its Mobile Medical Clinic where “abortion-vulnerable women” can get an ultrasound.

The mobile clinic currently offers free pregnancy tests, eye-opening obstetric ultrasounds, advocacy and help to women facing unexpected pregnancies, the organization said.

Stanton Mobile’s staff also responds "compassionately" to women who have experienced an abortion, the nonprofit stated.

Each client receives confidential medical services. Stanton workers pair each client with a client advocate so that they can voice their concerns about their pregnancy. The client advocate works diligently to provide resources and referrals to clients.

For more information on Stanton Healthcare or to register for the walk, call 760-684-8860 or visit facebook.com/StantonSoCal.
