Key reasons to establish a Care Plan
A care plan is designed to establish patient-centered care as a guide for the pregnancy support team. This team can include members from the healthcare community as well as members from the patient’s family or church community. It also acts as a tool for critical thinking and holistic planning that will support the patient’s physical, psychological, social and spiritual care.
We help you establish a care plan as part of your pregnancy test appointment.
When should I take a pregnancy test?
Ideally, you should take a pregnancy test one week after your missed period. A pregnancy test determines whether you are pregnant by detecting the presence of hCG, the hormone associated with pregnancy. Waiting until at least a week after your missed period allows your body to produce enough hCG to be detected by the test.
If a test is taken too early, you may get negative results even though you are pregnant. When you come in for your appointment, our staff will make sure this is the right time for you to take your pregnancy test. If it is, you will have your result during your appointment.
Patient Reviews
Real reviews from actual patients
When I first came, I really did not know what to expect, especially coming in at 17 to take a pregnancy test. I was not sure on what to do. It came back positive. I got the opportunity to speak with a counselor who was very helpful with my decision. The help that is received at the Women’s Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada is extraordinary to a single mother. I would like to thank each and everyone that took the time to help all these women.
I thank Women’s Resource so much for all they help they have provided me out of the kindness of their heart. I never felt judged coming here. I only felt love and support. I can’t thank them enough for truly changing lives.
I was surprised at the Center. The staff was warm, inviting and they took their time counseling me. Even though I have run into obstacles, I know I have friends.
My counselor Jim took his time and listened to my answers and prospective. Jim helped me to understand the resources available for what I am going through. It was a very straight forward appointment and everything was easy to understand.
