It's a Celebration!
HONORING OUR ROOTS. EXPANDING OUR REACH. TRANSFORMING OUR IMPACT. NINE YEARS OF ABIDE! WHAT A JOURNEY IT HAS BEEN!
Nine years ago, a vision was born out of a desire to make compassionate, accessible, and culturally responsive maternal healthcare a reality for women and families in our community.
Today, as Abide Women’s Health Services celebrates its ninth birthday, we reflect with tremendous gratitude on how far we have come, the families we have served, the partnerships we have built, and the impact we continue to make across North Texas.
Honoring Our Founder and Nine Years of Leadership
As we celebrate this milestone, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to Cessilye R. Spencer (formerly Smith), Abide's Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
What began as a vision has grown into an organization that has expanded access to maternal healthcare through the establishment of our Easy Access Clinic, the introduction of mobile maternal health services, the development of meaningful community partnerships, and an unwavering commitment to serving women and families who too often face barriers to quality care.
Cessilye’s vision, determination, and dedication have been instrumental in building Abide from an idea into an organization with a meaningful presence in our community. Her commitment to maternal health equity helped create the foundation for the services, relationships, and opportunities that exist today.
Happy 9th Birthday, Abide!
Nine years of purpose. Nine years of service. A future filled with possibilities.
We are honoring our roots, expanding our reach, and transforming our impact.
