Clinic bound for East Tennessee extends commitment to life and family ahead of Charlie Kirk’s Oct. 14 birthday
PLANO, Texas — Save the Storks pays tribute to Charlie Kirk’s legacy of advocacy for life and family by expanding the naming honor of its 110th Mobile Medical Clinic for his wife, Erika Kirk, as the clinic prepares to serve women and families in East Tennessee.
The Mobile Medical Clinic was recently presented during the Benefit for Life event for Choices Resource Center in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, before traveling to serve women in nearby communities. The clinic will provide life-affirming medical care, information and practical support to women in the East Tennessee region.
The dedication comes as Save the Storks prepares to mark what would have been Kirk’s birthday on Oct. 14. The organization said Kirk’s public advocacy for unborn children, marriage and family continues to influence its work with women facing unplanned pregnancies.
“Charlie understood that defending life also means standing beside women and families with compassion, practical help and hope,” said Diane Ferraro, CEO of Save the Storks. “Naming our 110th Mobile Medical Clinic for Erika is a way to honor the Kirk family while carrying that commitment into communities where women need trustworthy care and genuine support.”
Kirk described his position in unequivocal terms: “I am 100% pro-life. I have spent countless hours defending the pro-life position on campus and in the media.”
Save the Storks said Kirk’s views were rooted in a belief that life begins at conception and that unborn children possess human dignity and deserve protection. His advocacy also emphasized marriage, parenthood and strong families as essential parts of a healthy society.
“A Mobile Medical Clinic turns conviction into action by meeting women where they are and giving them access to compassionate medical services and resources,” Ferraro said. “We want every woman who steps inside this clinic to know that she is seen, valued and supported as she considers the future for herself and her child.”
Save the Storks designs, helps fund and places Mobile Medical Clinics with local pregnancy health clinics across the country. The units can provide services including pregnancy testing, ultrasound imaging and connections to additional community resources. The organization says the mobile model helps bring care directly to women who may otherwise face barriers to obtaining services.
Choices Resource Center will operate the clinic locally after its trip from Colorado, placing the organization’s newest mobile unit in a region where Save the Storks is expanding access to pregnancy-related services and support.
The Oak Ridge Mobile Medical Clinic will join that national network, extending services to communities in East Tennessee while commemorating a public figure Save the Storks said consistently urged younger generations to defend unborn life and strengthen families.
Save the Storks exists to ensure that no woman facing an unplanned pregnancy ever feels alone. Save the Storks is a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering women with compassionate care, accurate information, and practical support so they can make informed, life-affirming decisions. Through partnerships with pregnancy health clinics, a growing network of Mobile Medical Clinics delivering women’s healthcare directly to communities in need, and a digital platform providing always-on access to real care and real options, Save the Storks creates a story of hope for women and families across the nation.
