Prudence M.S. Humber, BSN, RN Executive Director
Prudence grew up in Ohio and was called to faith in Jesus at a young age. 

She came to the University of Pennsylvania for her Nursing education in the mid-60’s.  She quickly fell in love with the city of Philadelphia and its people, and also with Paul, the man she married in 1966.  They and have been blessed with 3 children, 1 by adoption, and 10 grands, 1 by adoption. 

While a Student Nurse, she was distressed by the impersonal care given to pregnant women in one of our city’s major hospital clinics.  She vowed that if God ever gave her the opportunity to make a difference in prenatal care, she would try to do so. 

In 1981, God planted her as a volunteer at the fledgling Alpha Pregnancy Services.  In 1987, He called her to be its Director.  This human service agency in Center City brings free-of-charge a holistic, caring approach to women who are pregnant and are nurturing young children.  Care is also extended to those who grieve after abortion or other loss in pregnancy.

Prudence enjoys both indoor and outdoor gardening, reading, bird watching, and camping.
