On Saturday, April 7th, WBWC hosted a booth at the Women’s Health Awareness Day Conference at North Carolina Central University. Tracey Jones, Pam Reis, CNM, and I, along with two of our WBWC moms, Maya Jackson and Ashley Gatling (in picture), helped “woman” the booth. All participants could access free health screenings, health education sessions, healthy living sessions, and booths showcasing local health resources. Over 600 people attended.

We had great interest in our booth, especially when we discussed the fact that we do more than just catch babies: we also provide primary health care for women from the time a young girl started her menses through menopause and beyond! Many women were surprised to learn that we also accept Medicaid and Medicare. We are looking forward to participating next year and hope that our clients will attend and take part in the very informative sessions.

Follow our Class and Event schedule to see where you might find folks from WBWC doing community outreach in your neighborhood. We welcome anyone interested in having us come out to your women’s group, sorority meetings, church, or professional group to talk about the services offered by WBWC.

Please contact Maureen@ncbirthcenter.org for further information and also leave a phone number. We are women helping women take care of themselves throughout the life cycle!
