WE'RE EMPOWERING WOMEN'S HEALTH
with our Choose Well partnership
As part of our mission to empower women, helping to ensure that our region’s women are safe and healthy is key! Health and safety impact every area of life, including economic strength and supportive relationships. Each year we host workshops on women’s health topics, from an indaba for women with HIV/AIDS to a breast cancer forum where MUSC doctors talked about the latest medical advances in women's health and fielded questions from attendees.
In the summer of 2018, we launched our newest women's health initiative in partnership with Choose Well, designed to reduce unintended pregnancies by offering all women affordable access to eight methods of contraception. The need is great, since half of all pregnancies in South Carolina are unintended and compromise the health, development, and economic stability of our women and children.

NO DRAMA
Birth control options
With Choose Well's No Drama program, women don't have worry about getting pregnant or paying for birth control; she can simply make an appointment online or with a phone call. A nurse will meet with her individually, help her choose the best option for her, and get her up to a year's supply.
