Our Team
We are a dedicated, professional practice of doctors, nurse practitioners, anesthetists, nurses, medical assistants, counselors, technicians, and administrators. Many also work in surrounding Boston hospitals. We are a training facility and have medical residents and physician assistant students as part of our team. Also, we were the first clinic in the nation to train advance practice clinicians (NP and CNM) in surgical abortion. We are proud to be a women owned and run clinic.
Our Patients
Women’s Health Services provides services to patients from Massachusetts, from the surrounding New England states where care is either unavailable or unaffordable. We also serve patients from states where abortion is restricted or banned. Our patients come from all backgrounds and walks of life. We provide abortion services to all patients seeking abortion care, including those who may be choosing an abortion due to a diagnosis of a fetal or chromosomal abnormality or a dire pregnancy prognosis. All patients are treated with sensitivity. Their rights and privacy are always respected.
Our Facility
We are a state of the art, licensed medical/surgical abortion clinic, in a discreet, stand alone building. We have a free, private parking lot that is monitored with security cameras. The entrance door is accessed from a restricted area, away from the sidewalk. Patients are discharged to a private area away from the street entrance, and do not encounter protestors.
