Uphold Standards, Protect Women
 

Board of Health,

Recently the Board of Health adopted standards to ensure patient safety in abortion clinics. It has come to my attention that these basic safety standards may be removed - putting womens lives and health in danger. I have come to expect that certain standards of cleanliness and access are being met any time I visit my doctor. I would also expect that these basic standards be met at any medical facility, including womens health facilities.Please make sure that these standards remain in place within our commonwealths womens health facilities. Thank you for your time. Patty Mellott
