Partners in Care Clinic at PCH opening July 10

In an effort to improve prenatal care for low-income women in Putnam and surrounding counties, Hendricks Regional Health and Putnam County Hospital have established a new collaborative obstetrics clinic called Partners in Care

The clinic is scheduled to open July 10 at Putnam County Hospital, 1542 Bloomington St., Greencastle.

Partners in Care will be open each Thursday to serve pregnant women from the community.

The clinic will be staffed by Hendricks Regional Health nurse midwife, Paula Stephens-Bibeau. Medical directors for the clinic are Dr. Michelle Fenoughty of Westside Physicians for Women and Dr. Clark Boccon, of New Life Associates. The physicians are both members of the Hendricks Regional Health Medical Group

Patients of Partners in Care will receive prenatal services at Putnam County Hospital, while deliveries will take place at Hendricks Regional Health in Danville.

DePauw University conducted a needs assessment and confirmed a shortage of prenatal care in Putnam County. By partnering on this venture, Putnam County Hospital and Hendricks Regional Health hope to improve the health of women and babies in the community.
