PREGNANCY RELATED SERVICES
Pregnancy testing is readily available
at UHS and is done by appointment with a nurse. Appointments for
pregnancy testing are usually available within 1 to 3 days and
can be made by calling Clinical Services at (814) 863-4463 and
asking to speak to a nurse. For more information on pregnancy
testing, see Pregnancy
Testing.
For patients pregnant and unsure of their options,
"options counseling" is available through Clinical Services and
can be scheduled by calling (814) 863-0774 and asking to speak
to a nurse.
Any patient who has a positive pregnancy test is encouraged to have a "confirmation exam" done during a women's
health visit. This exam consists of a pelvic exam performed by a clinician to help ascertain how many weeks the
patient is pregnant. For more information on pregnancy options, see
Unplanned Pregnancy: Making Choices.
