Eagledale Receiving Family Planning Clinic
(posted 7.20.09)
Wishard Family Planning Clinic is moving its services to Eagledale Plaza.
The clinic offers routine reproductive health care services to women with
low income. The clinic's new location will free up examination space at
the three primary health centers to treat patients in need of more urgent
care.
Many of the visits are free or at a low cost, based on income. Linda Johnson
of Family Planning Services said 20,000 women used the medical service
last year. Wishard chose Eagledale because it is centrally located in the
service area. The clinic will have bilingual staff available to assist
non-English speaking clients. She expects the clinic to be open in the
first quarter of 2010.
Thomas J. Ringham, associate Vice President, Facilities/Transformation,
explained the remodeling project should cost less than $300,000. He said
accessibility to its client base was another reason for the site's selection.
The move will free up space at the Blackburn Health Center, Westside Health
Center, and Wishard Primary Care Center adjacent to the hospital.
