National Memberships
Southern Tier Women’s Health Services, LLC is a member of Abortion Care Network, the national association for independent community-based, abortion care providers and their allies. Together we work to ensure the rights of all people to experience respectful, dignified abortion care. Independent abortion providers care for the majority of people seeking abortion in the U.S. – often serving individuals and families with the fewest resources and in the most rural parts of our nation. We support their Keep Our Clinics Fund for independent clinics.
We are also a member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF). The mission of NAF is to unite, represent, serve, and support abortion providers in delivering patient-centered, evidence-based care. NAF members include private and non-profit clinics, Planned Parenthood affiliates, women’s health centers, physicians’ offices, and hospitals who together care for approximately half the women who choose abortion in the U.S. and Canada each year. The members also include public hospitals and both public and private clinics in Mexico City and private clinics in Colombia. The NAF Board has developed Ethical Principles for Abortion Care, which members must follow.
Affordable Outpatient Care
A study published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AJOG) found that the kind of care found in an outpatient clinic such as ours is preferable to most women and also costs less. The study did not take into account lost time at work, repeat visits to the doctors, and expenses like childcare, fuel costs, etc. which would make a quick resolution even more desirable for most women. Southern Tier Women’s Health Services has several funds and programs for people who need financial assistance: please ask.
