New executive director named for Hope Clinic For Women

FALLBROOK – Hope Clinic for Women in Fallbrook addresses the barriers of 18-24-year-old pregnant women in its community to access health care and primary care during the first trimester of pregnancy when they are more likely to receive delayed or no care for pregnancy. The ongoing pregnancy services and two-year educational and resource support that HCW provides often gives moms the hope and help they need to parent.

Since 2014, Carolyn Koole has served as executive director at HCW. Koole is retiring Jan. 31 and on Feb. 1, HCW welcomes Amy Martin as the new executive director. Martin brings a background of extensive experience in pregnancy centers. Her compassion for woman, babies, and the community has motivated her to give selflessly in roles like patient advocate, fundraiser, key-note speaker, event coordinator, and program director for multiple programs at pregnancy centers across California.

Martin knows firsthand what it means to receive valuable resources, as well as life changing support and encouragement. Her story of hope is an inspiration and demonstrates the critical need met in the community at HCW. With overwhelming gratitude and a transformed life, Martin wasted no time in paying it forward by serving the community with conviction and resolve for the last three decades.

Martin's joy is infectious; it is fueled by her service to others! Her deepest conviction and undying life commitment is to help others thrive and overcome challenges. Her reward is knowing that she has been instrumental in elevating those who struggle and celebrating their many victories. She is the proud mother of two children. In her spare time, she can be found riding her bike all around town, preparing gourmet meals for friends, and soaking up sunshine at the beach.

HCW will introduce Martin to the community at their upcoming Inspiring Hope Western Gala at SonRise Christian Community Church on March 12, when they will also host special speaker Rebekah Hagan. For information on attending, call the center at 760-728-4105 ext 11 or contact them by email at accounting@hopefallbrook.
