Unexpected pregnancies for low-income women can be shocking but there are resources in Tallapoosa County to help. Sav-A-Life in Alexander City provides free pregnancy tests and educational programs for women and Quality of Life Health Services, a system of federally qualified community health centers in Alabama, offers free help and teaches people how to sign up for Medicaid.
