FAQs
Are there temporary guidelines because of COVID-19?
At this time, Vida is making efforts to minimize exposure and reduce transmission of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to our patients, clients and staff. Support Services staff members are available for support/mentoring calls and to process requests for material support including diapers, wipes and clothing during our temporary business hours Monday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Nurses will be asking the following questions before scheduling an appointment:
- Do you have any of the following symptoms now or within the past two weeks?
- Cough, shortness of breath, or breathing difficulties
- Fever
- Loss of taste or smell
- Have you had close contact with a person who has a confirmed case of the COVID-19 disease? Or, have you had close contact with a person who exhibited symptoms of a lower respiratory illness (cough, difficulty breathing, etc.) within the two weeks?
If the answer to any of these questions is yes, Vida will be unable to schedule an appointment. Individuals with an apparent mild illness will be encouraged by the nurse to contact their healthcare provider by phone for guidance about clinical management or an agency designated to handle potential COVID-19 patients. Individuals who report severe symptoms such as difficulty breathing, will be directed to seek care immediately.
Thank you for your patience as Vida continues to provide medical services in our clinic and to meet the growing needs of our Support Services clients in the safest way possible. For additional COVID19 information, safety recommendations, illness and pregnancy related questions, click here.

About Vida
Vida, formerly Mother and Unborn Baby Care [MUBC], is a 501(c)3 not for profit organization. Vida was founded in 1983 by 5 passionate advocates for the good health and well-being of women and their babies. As they sat around their kitchen table, they were determined to establish a non-profit organization that would help women who were facing an unplanned pregnancy by providing free advocacy and education services. Vida’s main objective then and now is to walk with women through trials and tribulations by offering hope and compassion. Vida firmly believes women and men should be empowered to make life affirming decisions. Vida makes no judgements about past or present decisions to parent, place for adoption or abort. Each choice can weigh heavily on the heart. We have been here ready to help since 1983. We will continue to expand and improve our services so that no man or woman feels alone and unsupported when facing challenges related to an unplanned pregnancy, parenting an infant or small children, or sexual integrity.
