September 06, 2011

The October 1, 2011 merger of Women's Healthcare Associates, LLC, Women's Clinic, PC and Women's Health Center of Oregon, PC represents an integration of the expertise and resources of three trusted women’s healthcare practices with a common mission, shared vision and strongly-held values. As a group, we are committed to setting the highest community standards for obstetric, gynecologic and women’s care with a focus on quality, safety and value.

The collaborative approach of Women’s Healthcare Associates assures our patients of the best possible outcomes by combining current science with the caring expertise of leading healthcare professionals. With our growth, more Portland metro-area women and their families will be able to choose complete women’s healthcare services from a single trusted source. The merged group will also offer the largest group of certified nurse midwives in Oregon.

The merger is a natural fit and a continuation of the history, tradition and trust that has existed between our practices and the community for more than 60 years. Our groups each have cultures that foster a family atmosphere, as well as an emphasis on strong relationships with our healthcare industry partners and colleagues; a connection to our communities and the region; and above all, a commitment to quality, excellent patient experiences and the very best outcomes for the women and families we serve.

While benefiting from the increased collaboration and resources of the larger network, patients will continue the relationships they’ve developed with the same caring OB/GYN physicians, perinatologists, nurse midwives, nurse practitioners and genetic counselors they’re accustomed to seeing. We look forward to continuing to meet your women’s healthcare needs.

Women's Healthcare Associates Press Hit: August 2011: Dr. Laura Morrison on KGW Live @ 7 Discussing Affordable Care Act

August 02, 2011

Dr. Laura Morrison was a guest on KGW's Live @ 7 show on Monday, August 1st. Dr. Morrison and host Stephanie Stricklen discussed new guidelines released Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for insurance coverage of preventive health care services for women.

The new guidelines, which go into effect for health insurance policies dated after August 1, 2012, require coverage of a broad range of preventive health services without a co-pay or deductible. These include well-woman visits; FDA-approved contraception; breastfeeding support, supplies and counseling; screening for HIV and sexually transmitted infections; and domestic violence screening.

"What's exciting about this is that there are so many women out there who have insurance but still can't afford their medication, supplies or screening tests and this removes that last barrier for them," said Dr. Morrison.

Women's Healthcare Associates provides preventive health care for women of all ages.
