Wellspring is a women’s health center in the Hastings area that provides three main services. We screen for STDs, primarily gonorrhea and chlamydia, provide no-cost pregnancy tests, and limited ultrasounds.
Why these three things at our women’s health center?
When faced with an unexpected pregnancy, we know there are lots of opinions out there on what you should do, some of which are accurate and some aren’t. Wellspring will provide you with the information you need to make the decision that is best for you. And these three things will give you that critical information.
- STD screening—if you are pregnant, it is important that you know your STD status as that will impact what you choose. Not STDs have symptoms associated with them and if left untreated, can cause problems for you down the road. You owe it to yourself to get tested. If you test positive for gonorrhea and chlamydia, we have trained medical staff that can treat you in our clinic.
- Pregnancy test—We know that there are many home pregnancy tests out there, but it is really important to have a lab grade pregnancy test to make sure you are actually pregnant. Not only do you get a trained medical professional independently confirming your pregnancy, but that medical professional can give you resources and information you may not have considered as you weigh your decision.
- Limited ultrasound—If you are considering abortion, an ultrasound is the most critical piece of information you need. It will tell you how far along you are and will tell you if the pregnancy is progressing. You don’t want to make a decision about abortion until you have an ultrasound.
Finally, while Wellspring focuses on these three things, we will provide community resources and referrals if we can’t answer your questions. We are committed to giving you the best care possible. Schedule your no-cost, confidential appointment today!
