Artesia General Hospital is excited to announce the launch of the Vibrant Women’s Health Clinic, enhancing healthcare for women in the area. This new facility opens on Monday, May 12, and aims to serve patients from Artesia, Carlsbad, Roswell, and nearby towns.
Dr. Scott Beard, an experienced OB/GYN and urogynecologist, will lead the clinic along with Laurie Crockett, a dedicated nurse practitioner. Together, they will provide essential services such as well-woman exams, family planning, prenatal and postpartum care, menopause support, and advanced gynecologic evaluations.
The clinic’s mission is to create a welcoming environment where women feel valued and understood. Dr. Joe Salgado, CEO of Artesia General Hospital, emphasizes the importance of accessibility: “Our goal is to ensure that women in rural communities don’t have to travel far to receive quality care.”
Recent data shows that access to women’s healthcare can significantly improve health outcomes. A study highlighted that in areas with dedicated women’s health services, patients reported better satisfaction and engagement with their healthcare providers. This is crucial for empowering women to take charge of their health.
As part of Artesia General Hospital’s commitment to community health, the Vibrant Women’s Health Clinic is a step towards ensuring that specialized care is just around the corner. Appointments are now available, and patients can reach out at 575-748-736-8394 or visit artesiageneral.com for more information.
