Life has a way of coming full circle.

From Small-Town Classmates to Big-City Care: A Chance Reunion at The Luke Clinic
What are the chances? Kelsie and Brianna grew up in the same small town, went to the same high school, and found themselves sitting side by side in a free clinic in Detroit years later. Both were pregnant, both struggling to find local care, and both making a 90-mile drive for the same reason. Their unexpected reunion at The Luke Clinic is more than just a coincidence—it’s a powerful reminder of the gaps in maternal healthcare and the importance of a place where every mother is seen, known, and cared for. Read their story of resilience, faith, and friendship.
