Family
Health Services
In continuing
to meet the healthcare needs of the region, UPMC Bedford Memorial
has extended its community services by adding a new program called
UPMC Family Health Services. For a number of years, this program
was formerly known as Family Health Services of South Central Pennsylvania
and has helped thousands of women and families throughout the county
in seeking specific health services.
UPMC Family
Health Services will continue to provide similar services as in
the past as well as expanding services. Many of the services include:
- physical
exams
- breast and
pelvic exams
- pap tests
- pregnancy
testing
- emergency
contraception
- treatment
of vaginal infections
- hormone replacement
therapy
- family planning
education/counseling, along with referrals as needed
In addition,
UPMC Family Health Services offers the Healthy Woman Program, for
those 50 years and older, that helps to detect breast
and cervical
cancer early and is sponsored by the Pennsylvania Department
of Health.
According to
Roger Winn, President and CEO, UPMC Bedford Memorial, "Family
Health Services has been committed to improving the quality of personal
and family life throughout Bedford County since 1971, and will continue
this tradition of quality care along with confidential services
through its affiliation with UPMC Bedford Memorial. We envision
a good working relationship with this program that will further
benefit the healthcare needs of those individuals who reside within
the region."
Cost for services
under this program are based on a sliding scale and the number of
dependents in the family. It is important to note that medical assistance
and many other insurances are accepted and all services are confidential.
UPMC Family
Health Services is located at 195 Memorial Drive, Suite 3, Everett,
PA.
