Women's Health

Midwives and family doctors can provide normal gynecological care for women. They often spend more time with clients and will take time to get to know you as an individual. They may support or provide alternative medicine choices. They should have a nonintervention oriented approach and take time to educate you about your options. As with childbirth, you will want to weigh the risks vs. benefits of any type of treatment. The emphasis of the practitioner/client relationship should be on the individual -- taking responsibility for their own health. There should be a partnership approach to your care.

See alphabetical listings for Illinois women's health practitioners below. Please contact the practitioner directly to schedule an appointment or if you have any questions. Be sure to let them know BirthLink sent you!

If you can't find a practitioner near you please contact us.

"Liability concerns now appear to be taking precedence in community after community, rather than the well-being of women and their babies. This is a situation that must be addressed before the morbidity and mortality from unnecessary and inappropriate medical interventions become trends too difficult to reverse."
- Our Bodies Ourselves (OBOS), Executive Director Judy Norsigian
