Out-of-state patients will have a navigator that will help with abortion scheduling. They will be able to screen for financial or travel needs, provide counseling regarding the parameters of care, assist with complex scheduling needs, and connect patients with partner organizations that can support travel needs. 

Funds are needed to ensure clinicians are protected and services, like TeleMab, can be implemented safely.

The current number of clinicians available to perform surgical abortions will not meet the potential increased demand. We will train more clinicians in advanced practice to serve more patients while ensuring those in our territory don’t experience increased wait times or delays.

We will expand the hours of service to include mornings, evenings, and additional weekend days to serve patients with more flexible hours.

To meet demand, we will need to expand hours, introduce new work shifts, and hire more health center staff. 

Surgical abortion procedures require those with advanced training and licenses. We will hire additional licensed staff to address the increasing numbers.
