Welcome to Lovejoy Surgicenter, a Center for Excellence in first and second trimester abortion care.
As Oregon's only state and federally licensed abortion provider, Lovejoy Surgicenter has long been recognized as a national model, offering a level of care unmatched in scope, thoroughness and sensitivity.
At Lovejoy, we are proud to have been the pioneer in providing women in the Pacific Northwest with choice and with the highest quality medical care for more than 35 years. We continue to be the first choice for many Oregon doctors in the Portland community.
Our physicians are OB/GYN board eligible/certified or higher in their medical expertise, and our counseling program is one of the most innovative in the country, founded on the principles of empowering patients and providing a non-judgmental environment for personal decisions.
Our patient services begin at 5 weeks from the last period and we cover all options through 23 weeks (sometimes further if medically indicated). This means we rarely need to refer our patients to other providers, saving time and money and offering a continuity of care unmatched in Oregon.
In the calendar year 2008, Lovejoy Surgicenter performed nearly 55% of the abortions in the Portland Metropolitan Area of Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties. An additional 9% of our abortion patients were from Clark County in Washington. Lovejoy Surgicenter continues its historical leadership as the primary provider of abortion care in the Portland Metropolitan Area including Clark County, Washington.

Not everyone comes to Lovejoy to get an abortion and I was one of those people. I knew abortion was not an option for me, but the Lovejoy staff is extremely understanding, compassionate and competent - they didn't just let me go without any help or direction in my life. They explained several options I did have. For example, they could facilitate an adoption (full privacy, trusted lawyer they have worked with for many years) or if you decide to keep the child they WILL help you to get help from setting up birth classes to your post-partum. Additionally, they don't just "forget" about you at the end. They follow up with you on your well-being and provide the best birth control for you. Lovejoy had truly helped me overcome many fears and they were supportive and non-judgmental beyond my expectations. If you need to learn about all of your options, meet with Kayla. She is knowledgeable and friendly.
This was an emotional and uncomfortable situation. The staff made me feel at ease with my decision and gave me all the support I needed to get me through this time in my life. I was 22 and not ready to have a child. I'm sure they don't hear this enough but thank you. I now have two amazing children and couldn't be happier.
Dear Kayla and the Lovejoy staff- I would like to thank everyone at the Lovejoy clinic for their amazing work and professionalism they provided me with warmth and knowledge i needed to know!
