I am a 2007 gradate from Emerson Outreach. I was so thankful for a program like Emerson. When I was 14 I wasn’t ready for a baby and Emerson prepared me for one of the most biggest life changing experiences of my life. Having the onsite clinic at Emerson was a really big help for being a confused inexperienced young mother. Having the clinic at the school was so much easier then having to go to another doctors office. We didn’t have to take off at school an miss out on learning for the day. Just being able to walk to the clinic an our parents didn’t have to take off work to take us to any appointments. I wouldn’t of known what I would of done with out a program like Emerson Outreach and there onsite clinic. I loved Emerson an still love Emerson for how caring and supporting everyone was to a teen who didn’t know how to make the right decisions.

Hi my name is Angelica I graduated from Emerson back in 2007. I am really thankful for the onsite clinic that we had back then. I had my prenatal care there and then my birth control care. It was very convenient for me as a teen mom that couldn’t drive back and forth. The onsite clinic didn’t just help me with my health care but also with my education making it easier to get the care that i need it. Please keep helping all of those teen moms with providing this necessary tool to have not just a healthy life but a successful one too.

This city NEEDS Emerson more than ever. Miracles happen every day in that century old building. I certainly hope the school board will support and see the need for the clinic. Education should be the number one priority of this city and that means ALL students. Alternative schools are NOT for the bad kids but the kids who have needs that are different. I taught there for six years before my retirement and those were the most rewarding of my over twenty years in education in four states and overseas. Thank you Steve for your soft heart and for keeping Emerson in the public eye!
