Another Way Pregnancy Center

The annual Summit is a two-day conference in May. For the 150+ in attendance, it's a refreshing get-away from the day-to-day pressures of PCC life.

Six women from Another Way Pregnancy Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan, were happy to be at The Summit! Pictured here are Emily Quit, Marcia Ploski, Nancy Lacey, Alyssa Burkett, Karen Jewell, and Olga Valtierra.

But The Summit is not limited to those who attend. Through audio recordings, you too can share in the experience!
