CHS describes intake pregnancy screening and referrals
Farias says incarceration disrupts community care, so CHS conducts comprehensive medical evaluations at admission. At Rosie's, staff obtain reproductive health history and offer pregnancy testing to all reproductive-age patients, with referrals for follow-up.
Last calendar year, there were 52 pregnant individuals in total in our care.
For many of our pregnant patients, their connections to community-based health care and support networks have been disrupted by their incarceration, making the services CHS provides especially important.
Other pregnant patients may have been out of care in the community due to challenges accessing providers or navigating services.
Presenting an opportunity to engage them in prenatal services that can promote maternal fetal health.
CHS medical and nursing professionals conduct a comprehensive medical evaluation of all individuals when they are admitted to the New York City jail system.
At the Rosem Singer Center, RMSC or ROSIES, clinical staff obtain a reproductive health history and offer pregnancy testing to all reproductive age patients.
Sorry.
Based on the information obtained during the intake assessment, patients may be referred for follow-up medical care or to the mental health service for additional evaluations.
