Our History

A Legacy of Compassionate Life-Affirming Care

Since our founding in 1992, as RWC, SupportLife has been dedicated to empowering women, protecting life, and sharing the hope found in Jesus Christ. Over the years, we have expanded our reach to abortion-minded women, deepened our impact, and embraced new opportunities to reach more families with truth and hope.

1992: A Vision Becomes Reality

Nancy Peterson opened the doors to the RWC after hearing the audible voice of the Lord tell her to open a place for women facing unplanned pregnancies. The center began offering free clinical services, life-affirming care, and resources to women in unplanned pregnancies. On opening day, the first baby was saved from abortion through the life-affirming care offered at RWC.
