Hope Clinic for Women, Ltd. (jsut 10 minutes from downtown St Louis) is licensed by the state of Illinois as an Ambulatory Surgical Treatment Center. We provide exceptional abortion care for patients. Our patients come to us from all over the country. Many come from other states due to more restrictive abortion laws in those states. There is no waiting period in Illinois, so most patients only have to be at the clinic one day. Our licensed, board-certified physicians specialize in obstetrics and gynecology and have many years experience in professional abortion care. Our staff has been specifically trained to provide individualized, compassionate, high quality care.
