Available services

  • Counseling on contraceptive options, sexually transmitted disease/infection (STD/STI) prevention, sexuality and other women’s health issues (Visit our Sexual Health area for more information on these topics.)
  • Screening, diagnosis and treatment of STDs/STIs and vaginitis; same-day appointments are usually available for women experiencing symptoms (NOTE: Routine testing may also be arranged.)
  • Breast exams and instruction in self-examination
  • Pap smears and routine pelvic exams (NOTE: SurePath™, a liquid-based method, is the only pap smear method used at the SHCC. SurePath™ has the advantage that it can be checked with a DNA methodology for presence of viruses like HPV. SurePath™ can reveal more information, and the same specimen can be tested further if initial indications reveal abnormalities, saving the woman time and a return visit for another test.)

  • Pregnancy testing and referrals for optional services

Consultant gynecologists are available for specific referrals such as abnormal pap follow-up, colposcopy, cryosurgery and LEEP.

  • NOTE: There may be additional charges for certain services, so be sure to ask in advance about costs.
