The Women’s Resource and Medical Clinic is about to begin another training session to teach two nurses how to do limited ultrasounds. They need to do at least 50 scans on pregnant women to complete their training. We are looking for volunteers who are between 6 weeks and 6 months pregnant who would be willing to have a free scan by our trained nurse and two nurses in training. This training will begin on August 25th and will be done three days of the week for three weeks. Call the WRMC at 377-4947 to schedule an appointment.
