You can't always tell if you or your partner has syphilis. Testing is especially important during pregnancy to prevent passing the infection on to your baby.

Syphilis testing and treatment are available at our clinic. Visit our website at www.ccbh.net/sexual-health for more information, or call 216.201.2041 to schedule an appointment.

There was a lot of great discussion at our Partners for Change stakeholder meeting last week. Some questions we left with…

❔What marketing efforts exist in Cuyahoga County to educate women about the importance of prenatal care?

❔How do hospital systems use the survey data they collect from pregnant and postnatal patients?

We’re reflecting on some needs too…

👉🏿 The need to better understand how women learn about the importance of prenatal care and how they find providers.

👉🏿 The need for more support and advocates throughout pregnancy and early parenting–doulas, CHWs, home visitors–reimbursed at a thriving wage.
