I've been asked to participate in a brainstorming planning session for a
free-standing Women's Health Center which will offer primarily ob/gyn services
in our area  and I could use your help!  If you could design a center to
include everything in your wildest dreams that would make a really
comprehensive facility, what would be on your "wish list"?

They'll offer routine ob/gyn, mammography, bone density testing, lab
facilities, nutrition counseling and ?????
Educational programs on women's health topics, including classes on early
pregnancy, Lamaze,  VBAC, cesarean birth, Refreshers, breastfeeding, baby care
and ?????
Staffing will include MD's, CNM's, LC's, RN's, and ?????

What are the "must haves", the "wouldn't it be great ifs", the "I wish my
ob/gyn included this in his/her practice"?   Just heard about the meeting, its
on for Thursday morning, so if you have any ideas that fall into the
categories of good, important, or fabulous, please privately e-mail me ASAP.
I know that doesn't give you much time, but all ideas will be gratefully
accepted.  I'll post a list if anyone's interested, or email a compilation to
anyone who's interested.  Thanks so much!
