This program offered women and their families the opportunity to learn m ore about their pregnancy and prepare for childbirth and parenting. It continues to be an integral part of the current scope of Resource Center services. In 1996, we began expanding our programming to address women's health issues that cross the lifespan. This new focus culminated in the renaming of the program in October 1998. In January 1999, the Resource Center moved to a larger, more consumer-friendly space on the Plaza Level of the Ambulatory Care Center at 400 Parnassus and contin ues to search for new ways to reach women with information and programs related to their health.
