Well Woman Wednesdays at the Birth House

BRIDGTON — The Birthwise Community Clinic is announcing a Free Well Woman Clinic that is open to the public for women of all ages.

The Free Well Woman Clinics will be hosted by The Birth House in Bridgton on Wednesdays. Student midwives from Birthwise Midwifery School will offer free exams on an appointment basis under the supervision of a Certified Professional Midwife.

The following services will be available: Annual Well Woman Exam, Breast Exams, Pap Smears, Nutritional Counseling, Family Planning Counseling and Fertility Awareness Education. Additionally, routine screening for STIs and GYN infections will be offered.

Each service is provided at no cost to you except for lab fees. These are typically billed directly from the lab service and can be billed to MaineCare and most private health insurance plans.

If you are not seeing a provider regularly for Well Woman Care, do not have health insurance coverage, or simply want to supplement your existing medical care, this is an opportunity to receive this important preventive care free of charge. The gentle and holistic care given by midwives is especially appropriate for teens and women seeking their first gynecological exam.

For more information or to schedule an appointment, please call Birthwise at 647-5968.
