Schedule an Appointment at the Center for Women's Health

Please call your doctor's office or the clinic as far in advance as possible to schedule your appointments. This will make it easier to choose times that are most convenient for you.

Be sure to register after you have scheduled your first appointment. Registration helps each clinic correctly identify you and your medical information.

If your health plan restricts the clinics you can use, be sure your plan has approved the healthcare you are requesting. This will help you avoid unexpected fees.

Checklist of information you will need when making an appointment

We will ask you for the following information:

Your name

Your date of birth or Social Security number (this helps ensure that your medical information is not confused with someone who has a similar name)

Reasons for the appointment (be as specific as possible so that we can reserve the right amount of time for your visit)

Whether you want a particular doctor or the first available appointment

Canceling an appointment

If you cannot keep your appointment, please call your doctor's office or clinic as soon as possible or no later than the day before. We realize that sometimes emergencies come up and your plans may change. However, giving us as much notice as possible helps us better serve you and our other patients.

fire-stricken Australia, she decided to do something about it. She looked up wildlife rescue and relief agencies in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches(袋子) and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires.

This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem. "I'd never sewn in my life," said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. "Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself so I decided to learn how to sew."

Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her own sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she purchased 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to FAWNA, one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other species suffering from burns.

A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a young koala in one of her larger pouches. "It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way," said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as a nurse practitioner.

Several craft(手工) websites around the world have appealed to people to make the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12, and Rochelle, 8, from San Diego also offered their help in such a way. For Newberry, “It was a big push that made us crafters, sewers realize there's something more we can do than just make things for ourselves,” she said.

4. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?

A. What inspired Ratelle to learn to sew.

B. The poor living conditions of Australian animals.

C. What is needed to save koalas and other species.

D. Different ways to help koalas and other animals.

5. How did Ratelle feel when she received a photo from FAWNA?

A. Calm.

B. Surprised.

C. Proud.

D. Disappointed.
