Caring for Motherhood

A ReadNPlay Production

Dear Mom,

We hope that you find this webpage to be helpful as a woman and mother. We designed it to share information, resources and tools to support your health and well-being. Our team members at ETSU Health are excited to partner with you on this journey called Motherhood.

When you visit our clinics, it’s likely that you will meet several different members of our team – nurses, doctors, behavioral health consultants, resource providers, and other allied health professionals – as well as health care providers-in-training, like students and residents. We can better and more conveniently serve our patients by working together in teams. Our teaching and learning environments ensure that you will receive the very best care. At ETSU Health, we prioritize women’s health throughout the lifespan. We seek to empower all women with information to keep them healthy and safe.

Sincerely,
