APPOINTMENTS
If you are experiencing any of the above women's health problems, please call us at
(814) 863-0774 to discuss your medical concern with a nurse. This
nurse will help you decide what action is indicated to address
your health problem, and if appropriate will also schedule an
appointment with a clinician. If a routine annual gynecological
exam is also needed, a separate appointment should be scheduled.
See Annual (Preventive Health) Exam.
WOMEN WITH URGENT PROBLEMS ARE SEEN QUICKLY (usually the same day).
If you have a medical problem requiring an urgent appointment,
please call UHS rather than just walking-in. Our advice nurse is
available during clinic hours to speak with you over the phone to
help assess your health care needs.
