A Brief History In the 1984, God burdened the heart of Jenny Doss to reach women dealing with crisis pregnancies by starting a center in Shelby County. The crisis pregnancy center was opened in Alabaster in a suite of the Jessup Building on Highway 31 and was dedicated to serve the Lord Jesus Christ and the women and families of Shelby County on November 10, 1985. Sav-A-Life Shelby, Inc. at that time, was affiliated with Sav-A-Life, Inc. by mane, but has always been financially separate and governed by its own board of directors. The ministry is supported financially by individual contributions, local churches and two annual fundraising events. In October 2003, Sav-A-Life Shelby began receiving income through the sale of “Choose Life” license plates from the state of Alabama. When the doors were first opened in November of 1985, the office was staffed completely by volunteers and open 3 days a week. In 1990 Sav-A-Life Shelby moved to 217 First Street North in Alabaster. While there the hours of operation increased to five and one-half days a week. In June of 2000 the office moved to a new location in Pelham, 262 Yeager Parkway. In November of 2000 Sav-A-Life Shelby opened a satellite office in the Highway 280 area. In 2002, Sav-A-Life Shelby, Inc. began the process of becoming a medical facility offering ultrasounds to positive test clients. Doctor Nathan M. Ross agreed to be the Medical Director and was later joined by Doctor Jon Adcock. In February 2006 we received a grant from Focus on the Family and Option Ultrasound. Again in October of 2007 we receive a second grant to place a machine in the new 280 location. Today, Sav-A-Life Shelby, Inc. continues to operate two pregnancy centers, the corporate office is located at 3156 Pelham Parkway, Suite 1 and the Satellite is located at 110 Scotch Drive, Suite 206
