Northwest Wellness Services does not offer anything in regards to helping students dealing with pregnancy. However, Maryville’s The Source Medical Clinic does offer a number of services including pregnancy testing and abortion counseling. Executive Director of the Source Medical Clinic, Gwen Knowles said college-age students are at the highest risk of pregnancy. “People that are age 18 to 24, they are the population with the highest rate of pregnancy and STIs and STDs so we think it is really important to be in our community and offer that to people and offer it free of charge so everybody has access to it,” Knowles said. “We do have options and counseling. We will counsel on all three options of pregnancy that a person has which are carry to term and be a parent, carry to term and place for adoption or abortion, so we will give information about all of those things.” Butler said his daughter has taught him a lot not only about being a father but also just about himself. “There’s a lot of things I need to change a lot about myself,” Butler said. “I need to lose all my childish

    Background statement: Heritage Valley Medical Center has had a wonderful reputation for providing excellent health care services to their community. Initially, their community was 80% Caucasian, 40% African American, and 5% Hispanic. However, in the last 5 years, the population has changed to more minorities and the whites have moved out to the suburbs.

    Her work has shown that by starting off with a nursing degree and a passion, there is so much that a nurse can do to improve healthcare for women Nurses have an opportunity to work for organizations like Planned Parenthood and continue to advocate for women’s reproductive rights and care. Nurse practitioners, in particular, can perform roles such as educating women and young girls, inserting IUDs, and prescribing oral contraceptives to women. One of the greatest advantages of this aspect of the nurse practitioner role is that such services are much more affordable to those seeking care, as opposed to visiting a physician for these matters. This concludes that the work of Faye Wattleton and Planned Parenthood have made reproductive healthcare more accessible

    Because of parents like Rose Mary, the idea of being trained to raise a child has become a topic of conversation. Bobbi Leder, an opinion editor, spoke her thoughts in her article, “Should People Be Required to Obtain A License Before Becoming Parents,” where she addresses what is required and expected out of parenthood. She advocates that “children deserve the best and if you’re not prepared to give (the most important job) your all, then leave it to those who are” (Leder 3). As an American society, it is natural to want children to have the best opportunity they can. To provide these opportunities, it is important to consider one question before having a child: are you ready to take on a huge responsibility?

  • Good People And Hills Like White Elephants: A Comparative Analysis

    I am reminded of two sisters who found themselves in a similar situations to Jig and Sheri, with an unwanted pregnancy. The eldest of the two, in a relationship with man with the attributes of the American and the youngest with a man with the attribute of Lane Jr. The youngest decided not to have the baby because of her desire to follow her career path, as I believe Sheri did in "Good People".

The younger would wonder what it would have been like to raise and see the progression on the child she so willingly aborted and the eldest knowing that she made not only the right decision but also the best decision, to allow life to come forth because of love, which may be rocky but it is still

    Based on this case the cost driver is to properly distribute the direct cost among the different divisions. Dr. Julian would like to control her departments costs by having them distributed fairly among the divisions without affecting the hospital’s reimbursement/revenue.
