Historical November 1976 health reporting. Dates, fees, recommendations and first-aid instructions are reproduced from the original issue, not current medical advice or service announcements.
In April a new Women’s Clinic began seeing women on a once-a week basis at the People’s Clinic, 6010 Kingsbury Ave. The hours are 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. every Saturday, no appointment necessary. The staff is a group of women committed to offering health information and inexpensive GYN tests to community women. The tests offered are: breast exam pelvic exam pap smear VD blood test vaginal infection smear pregnancy test gonorrhea smear
These tests are offered for an initial visit fee of $5.00. Subsequent tests are available for a minimal charge. Self exam is taught during the visit and each woman receives a plastic speculum of her own.
We see this clinic as a “well women’s clinic”, and encourage women to come to learn about the health care system. Our philosophy is to de-mystify GYN health care and to educate women about their bodies.
