 A new women's health clinic in Baxter named Embrace is giving women of all ages in the surrounding area an opportunity to get comprehensive, intimate and personal health care. Logan Gay spoke with the Embrace health care providers about their new facility. Going to the doctor at any age can be an uncomfortable and intimidating. No matter how old we are, no matter what we do in life, having a gynecological exam is not pleasant. So I think this environment is really a relaxing atmosphere for that. The new Embrace clinic in Baxter is offering women an intimate and pleasant health care experience. We are excited about the opening of Embrace because it offers a different option like Rhoda said for women. It's comprehensive care from general medicine to OBGYN in a small setting with all women providers. So very individualized care in just a warmer environment. Having a warm, welcoming environment is one the many ways Embrace eliminates the excuse many women make when they neglect their health. Everyone has a busy life to put this off especially when it's an unpleasant experience or difficult to get in or you know waiting in the waiting room a long time. So it's very important that women take care of themselves and I think in this setting it's much easier. The providers offer care services that include everything from annual wellness exams to minor procedures. Women who have respiratory illnesses, immunization updates, you know just general problems. The Embrace clinic opened up just in time for breast cancer awareness month. We're definitely encouraging women to you know have a regular clinical breast exam and we encourage women to do a home breast exam as well. In Baxter, Logan Gay, Lakeland News.
