Women’s Health Services
For over 30 years, Women’s Health Services has been committed to providing safe, skilled, compassionate care to all seeking abortion services. Despite the restrictions on reproductive healthcare in other parts of the country, abortion is protected in Massachusetts through 24 weeks of pregnancy.
We provide Medical Abortions from 6 to 11 weeks, and Surgical Abortions from 6 through 24 weeks. Surgical abortions can be performed with anesthesia, including local anesthesia, conscious sedation, or full anesthesia. Our telephone counselors are available to schedule appointments within a few days, and review anesthesia options. Same day appointments may be available.
Women’s Health Services is a private, discreet, state-of-the-art, licensed Ambulatory Surgical Center, providing skilled, comprehensive abortion care. At WHS, we accommodate every patient with sensitivity and respect, considering each patient’s individual needs and circumstances. Women’s Health Services is committed to patient confidentiality and privacy. We strive to make the process as easy as possible for our patients. We have free, private parking, with an entrance door that is accessed from a restricted area, away from the sidewalk. Patients are discharged to a private area away from the street entrance.
