In honor of Women’s History Month, Claris Health celebrates the strength, resilience, and stories of women across Los Angeles. Learn how Claris supports women’s physical, emotional, and mental health through care that empowers and uplifts.
March is Women’s History Month — a time to honor the women who’ve paved the way, the women who walk beside us, and the women who are shaping the future.
At Claris Health, every month is about celebrating women’s courage and resilience but this month, we pause with intention to recognize their stories and the history being written right here, every day, in our clinics and communities.
The Power of Her Story
From the first woman who walks through our doors for a pregnancy test to the mom returning for a parenting class or therapy session, every story at Claris begins with courage. Some come to us in moments of uncertainty, facing an unplanned pregnancy, navigating new motherhood or healing from loss. Others come seeking growth, connection or stability.
No matter where they start, every woman who visits Claris carries a story worth honoring.
At Claris, we don’t just see patients, we see people with dreams, fears and futures. We see women rebuilding their confidence. While also rediscovering their voice and redefining what strength looks like.
“They didn’t treat me like a number — they treated me like family.”
— Jessica, Claris Client
Her story mirrors countless others. Women finding community, compassion, and care when they need it most.
Empowering Women Through Care
Claris Health exists because every woman deserves access to comprehensive, judgment-free care. Care that honors her past, meets her in the present and prepares her for the future.
Our services include:
- Pregnancy & Prenatal Care: Free pregnancy testing, ultrasounds, and prenatal care that support both mom and baby through each stage.
- Women’s Wellness Exams: Annual well-woman exams and STD/STI testing that prioritize prevention and peace of mind.
- Mental Health Counseling: Therapy and support groups to process grief, trauma, or relationship challenges.
- Parenting & Education: Classes and mentorship that equip women and families with tools for lasting success.
- Material Assistance: Access to baby supplies, diapers, wipes, and gear for parents in our parenting programs.
Whether it’s a young woman seeking guidance, a new mom building confidence or a survivor finding her strength again. Claris Health walks alongside each one with compassion and care.
Honoring the Women Who Inspire Us
Behind every strong woman is a community that believes in her. At Claris, we’ve been privileged to witness the incredible resilience of women who have overcome addiction, rebuilt families, completed degrees, started businesses, and become mentors to others.
These women remind us that empowerment isn’t about perfection. It’s about perseverance. It’s about showing up, asking for help when needed, and taking the next step forward.
Their stories echo the spirit of the women who came before us. Those who fought for equality, opportunity and respect. And they inspire us to keep creating spaces where every woman is seen, valued, and supported.

The Women of Claris
Our mission is made possible by the women who lead, serve, and care from nurses and counselors to volunteers and administrators. They show up with compassion, listen with patience and bring healing where it’s needed most.
They embody the heart of Claris Health: treating every person with dignity, providing care without judgment, and creating a safe space for women to thrive.
“It’s about being a light — not just for today, but for tomorrow’s generation.”
— Talitha Phillips, CEO
Because Her Future Matters
This Women’s History Month, we honor not only the women who’ve made history but the women making it right now.
At Claris Health, we’re committed to continuing that story. One appointment, one class, one conversation at a time.
