Not many people know the story of Henrietta Lacks and her association with famous gynecologists like Dr. Richard Te Linde (I have his textbook on my bookshelf). I hadn’t heard her name myself until I read "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot" (which I highly recommend!). She was the Black woman whose cervical cancer cells, taken in 1951, became the famous HeLa cell line—cells that revolutionized biomedical research and were crucial in developing the Salk polio vaccine. Meanwhile, her own family lived in poverty for decades, often without access to basic health care. At long last, they’ve received compensation. You can read more in this New York Times article:

Ms. Lacks’s family accused Novartis of profiting from her cells, which were taken from her without her consent in 1951, when she was dying of cervical cancer.

We are beyond excited to welcome Caitlyn to our CRWC family! Caitlyn brings with her a wealth of knowledge in the field of women's health. Caitlyn has a confident and sunny personality that helps her put her patients at ease. Caitlyn is taking new patients, so please call our office at 518-274-0476 to set up an appointment with her!

Please join us in welcoming Caitlyn Sartori, FNP-BC, to Capital Region Women's Care/Community Care Physicians!

Caitlyn is a board-certified family nurse practitioner specializing in gynecology and is passionate about educating and empowering women to better understand their bodies at every stage of life. From first visits to menopause and everything in between, she believes women deserve clear, honest answers — and a provider who truly listens.

With a background in critical care and a special interest in PCOS and menopause education, Caitlyn is committed to creating a comfortable, judgment-free space for conversations that matter.

When she’s not caring for patients, you’ll find her cheering on her two kids at swim meets, enjoying musicals and movies, or planning her next trip to the ocean.

We’re thrilled to have her on our team! Read her full bio here: womenscare.communitycare.com/doctors/profile/caitlyn-sartori/

While our practice no longer treats pregnant mothers, we are proud to assist in fertility and conception counseling, so expecting mothers are still a priority around here!

This new study published by the American Journal of Gastroenterology presents results that vedolizumab, used for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and Crohn's Disease, doesn't increase the risk of adverse outcomes in pregnancy. Having one of these conditions doesn't mean you have to compromise your care in order to have a safe and healthy pregnancy!
