Women's Health Notes

Volume 1, No. 1, October 2009

Introduction

Welcome to the first issue of the Women's Health Notes, a newsletter for those providing care for American Indian and Alaska Native women and their families. Topics will include current issues in maternity, well-woman, and gynecology care: updates from IHS staff, ACOG, and others; and announcements. If you have suggestions or would like to contribute, please contact jean.howe@ihs.gov.

Many of you have inquired about the CCC Corner. The CCC Corner ceased publication earlier this year. The Women's Health Notes will cover similar women's health-focused topics as CCC Corner. Articles from other Chief Clinical Consultants are available in the IHS Provider.

For fiscal and environmental reasons, the Women's Health Notes will be available in an electronic format only. If you were already subscribed to the CCC Corner, then you already have an electronic subscription to the Women's Health Notes.
