Less then a mile away, just a few blocks away, from the University of Redlands is a clinic for all women's needs. The clinic, Redlands Public Health Reproductive Health Services, is located at 800 E. Lugonia Ave., Suite F, Redlands, CA, 92374 (in the Walgreens parking lot). The staff is very welcoming to all women (and I'm sure men as well) and very kind and understanding. When arriving at the clinic you are asked what you are wanted to be seen for and given paper work to find out if you can qualify for treatment. Because many of us students are young, and don't make the money we hope we will someday make, most of us will qualify. Some of the questions they ask seem to be peculiar, (is anyone forcing you to come here, or are you keeping this visit from anyone?) but the reason they ask this is to protect you. Some women are in abusive relationships, where their husband or boyfriend wants them to have children, or their father is unaware they are sexually active. The clinic provides tests of many kinds as well as birth-control of all kinds. The thing that makes this program so great is that they are not there to judge, they know that women have sex, and they know that women enjoy having sex and will continue to have sex, there task at hand is to help educate women who are unaware of some of the risks and help prevent women from unwanted pregnancies, and diseases.
During your visit to the clinic, you see a doctor, take the tests you need, and are given a green card for your prescriptions, this magic card can get you birth-control pills for free. This healt
h clinic is opened Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., walk-ins welcome and appointments are available. For more information visit the website at http://www.birthcontrol4u.com/01map.htm
