An Open House will be held from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. May 16 at the Women’s Care Clinic (WCC) at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC).

The open house will include free food, birth control methods/models available to view, handouts on common gynecology issues, tours of the facility and have providers available to answer questions.

The LRMC WCC provides health services and screenings to all eligible women: active duty, civilian, family members, retirees and contractors. The WCC is staffed with two board-certified gynecologists, two certified women’s health nurse practitioners, one certified nurse midwife and four nurses. WCC providers are specifically trained to address routine well woman care as well as female gynecological concerns. The WCC is an open clinic, therefore no referral is necessary to receive a clinic appointment.

All women who are Department of Defense ID cardholders are eligible for care.
Common medical issues that can be addressed, managed, and followed by WCC providers include: annual well woman examinations to include cervical cancer and breast cancer screening, birth control counseling, menopause therapy, menstrual disorders, postpartum care and abnormal Pap smear follow-up. The WCC is conveniently located in the main LRMC building adjacent to Family Practice in Wing 1F. The WCC even has a separate outside entrance, private check-in desk, independent waiting area and an individual appointment line phone number.
For the ultimate inpatient convenience, a parking lot is located right outside the WCC entrance.

The WCC is open from 7:30 a.m. to noon, and from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Mondays thru Fridays. Making an appointment is easy: simply call DSN 486-7100 or commercial 06371-86-7100.
