Comprehensive Women’s Health Center: Clinical Services, Academic Training, and Research
The Comprehensive Women’s Health Center, located at 8111 E Lowry Blvd ste 220, Denver, CO 80230, USA, is an abortion clinic affliated with the University of Colorado. At the Comprehensive Women’s Health Center on the Lowry campus, we provide family planning clinical services including abortion. It is important to note that not every doctor who works at the above clinic does abortions, since the clinic also provide ob-gyn services.
Clinic Procedures and Patient Triage
The facility offers both surgical and non-surgical options, specifically Procedures Surgery: YES and Medication: YES. In Denver, the Comprehensive Women’s Health Center has implemented what Cohen describes as a “triage” system prioritizing second-trimester patients to ensure the clinic can accommodate as many patients as possible. While patients from various regions are arriving “Frustrated and Exhausted,” the clinic manages its volume despite the fact that the waiting period is usually two weeks. Cohen noted that this is “a little bit longer than we wish it were, but a lot better than what Texas is doing.”
