A Personal Letter from Tom Glessner
Dear Friend,
For more than ten years the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) has provided pregnancy help centers with the resources necessary to convert their operations into licensed medical clinics. Through The Life Choice Project (TLC) we offer your center everything you need to successfully complete this difficult process of converting to medical clinic status.
Why should your center consider medical clinic conversion? Simply put, centers that convert to medical clinic status experience: 1) an increase in the total number of clients seen on an annual basis; 2) an increase in the number of abortion-minded clients seen; and 3) a dramatic increase in the percentage of clients choosing life!
The offering of medical services, such as ultrasound, is particularly effective in empowering your clients to choose life. Ultrasound opens "a window to the womb" to a mother in a crisis pregnancy. Ultrasound introduces this mother to her unborn child and enables her to bond with her baby.
Operating as a medical clinic allows you to combine loving care with quality professional services and build trusting relationships. When volunteers at your center join with professional medical support the net result is more decisions for life from women who might otherwise choose abortion.
I hope that your center will seriously consider the benefits of The Life Choice Project.
May God continue to bless your efforts.
Sincerely, Thomas A. Glessner, JD President

Testimonials
"...It was simple in that we contracted with NIFLA for the TLC Project and they walked us through every step of the way — we didn't have to come up with or figure out things on our own. And Craig and Beth are awesome consultants and always available to give counsel and to be a sounding board when challenges come. ...Converting has raised the level of everyone's performance and knowledge." —Reni Bumpas Life Choices Pregnancy Support Center
"The TLC program was incredible! ...TLC really does make the process manageable. With their training, hand-holding and the step-by-step instructions and oversight, our transition was smooth. I felt confident that the right things were in place to serve our clients, grow our ministry and glorify God by providing excellent services." —Brenda Saltzer, CEO Care Net of the Palouse, WISH Medical
"Using the TLC Program was the best thing I ever did when we went through our medical conversion process. Our center was founded in 1988. In 2000, we started praying and researching about converting to a medical clinic. It seemed just too big for me. The whole process seemed so complicated that I honestly didn't even know where to start. Then, I heard about the TLC program. They walked me through the whole process in less than one year. They told me where and when and what to do. It was such a blessing. It made me so confident that I was doing it right and would qualify for the Option Ultrasound Program. My board still talks about the TLC Board training and how they feel better equipped to serve, now. I highly recommend TLC to any center converting to a medical clinic." —Nancy Knowlton Executive Director, Cookeville Pregnancy Clinic
