Respect Women, Require Safety
 

Board of Health,

All medical procedures involve risk but those does in a carefully regulated and monitored environment which require specific standards of the highest possible sanitary methods reduce that risk. Regulators wisely imposed those standards on eating establishments. Certainly, facilities that perform dental and medical procedures should require a higher standard to ensure as sanitary an environment as possible and of careful oversight to make certain those standards are met. I urge you to protect the health of women, all women, by requiring all clinics providing all medical services to meet those requirements. Linda Lafoon
