Imagine walking into your OBGYN appointment and this is what greets you.
A follower reached out to us regarding her recent experience at CARE STL, and the photos she shared are raising serious eyebrows. The exam table inside the room appeared torn, worn down, and visibly dirty. Rust along the edges. Peeling material. Stains running down the side. This is the space women are expected to feel safe and cared for in.
Clinics like CARE STL are essential. They serve neighborhoods where transportation can be a barrier and options can be limited. Access matters. But dignity matters too.
No woman, regardless of her economic or social status, should feel like she’s being treated as less than when it comes to her healthcare. Especially not at an OBGYN office. That’s one of the most vulnerable spaces a woman can be in.
The question is simple. Are patients being given the quality of care and environment they deserve?
