Share the Health provides free gynecology care to uninsured patients on a referral only basis.
**July, 2015 Referral Process Updates**
Over the past several months we have seen a significant increase in the number of referrals we are receiving. As the number of referrals exceeds our clinical capacity, we are in the process of making some changes to our referral process. Our goals are to ensure we are not duplicating services that are available through other programs and to ensure that patients with the most critical medical needs have the highest priority in appointment scheduling. In order to achieve these goals we will be reviewing all referrals during the week prior to each month's clinic. Once we review the referrals we will either contact the patients directly to schedule their appointments or contact the referring providers to explain why the referrals have been declined. We hope this change will allow us to continue to be a sustainable source of gynecologic care for uninsured women in our community for years to come.
Please stay tuned for more news and an updated referral form. Thank you!
