The CCC Corner is good way to inform ITU providers about recent updates, while decreasing the number of e-mail messages.
Let me know if you want to add something to next month's CCC Corner at jean.howe@ihs.gov or (928) 674-7422 (with voicemail).
*The opinions expressed in the OB/GYN CCC
Corner are strictly those of the authors, and not necessarily those of the Indian
Health System, or the editor of this newsletter.
OB/GYN
Jean Howe, MD, MPH is the Obstetrics and Gynecology Chief Clinical Consultant
(OB/GYN C.C.C.). Dr. Howe is very interested in establishing a dialogue and/or
networking with anyone involved in women's health or maternal child health, especially
as it applies to American Indian and Alaska Native women and also indigenous
peoples around the world. Please don't hesitate to contact her by e-mail (jean.howe@ihs.gov)
or phone at (928) 674-7422.
