March is designated as a month to honor and celebrate women.<\/p>\n

It is the month for learning about Women\u2019s History<\/a>, especially those contributions overlooked or undervalued by male historians.\u00a0 Organizations including the Library of Congress, National Archives and Records Administration, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Gallery of Art, National Park Service and the Smithsonian Institution jointly name March as Women\u2019s History month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Swope Health also sees the month of March as a great time to support women, and help all women reach the best health possible. Our approach is in service to the whole woman \u2013 all ages, all aspects of health.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are committed to providing the care that women need as a whole person,\u201d said Dr. Naiomi Jamal, Chief Health Officer at Swope Health. \u201cThat is, recognizing women in their entire personhood with special needs and interests, including but not limited to reproductive health. We know that women are so often responsible for the care of others that they might not pay attention to their own needs. We invite all women to take time for themselves and their own care.\u201d<\/p>\n

Swope Health\u2019s providers will listen to you and help you listen to your own body. Your body sends signals when it is in need, undergoing changes, or responding to the external environment \u2013 and understanding those signals is a key to achieving your best possible health.<\/p>\n

Whole-Person Care in Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

Swope Health caregivers routinely ask each patient about your personal situation: Are you living in a safe place? Do you worry about having enough food? Do you feel depressed, lonely or dissatisfied with your life? These questions recognize that life situations can be challenging, and there are ways we can provide help. \u00a0It might take the form of support from our Behavioral Health<\/a> department, with therapy, counseling or medical support.\u00a0 Or it might be help with housing, transportation, food and insurance.<\/p>\n

For women with children, the support might include diapers, car seats, help with breastfeeding or education about nutrition and childcare. We understand your situation, like your body, is unique and our care focuses on you.\"prenatal<\/p>\n

At Swope Health Clinics we provide care for women in all stages of their life: adolescence, adulthood and senior years.\u00a0 Services provided are:<\/p>\n
