MIC-Women’s Health Services provides comprehensive reproductive health services through a network of eight Centers and their back-up hospitals. Prenatal and family planning services are delivered by fully qualified physicians or midwives. You will have a physician or midwife designated as your provider. The providers cover labor and delivery at the hospital, so you will probably see a doctor or midwife you already know when you are ready to deliver. Physicians and midwives provide after hours phone coverage to answer your questions.

MIC offers a sliding fee scale for its family planning services (depending on your income, you may pay nothing). MIC accepts payment from certain Medicaid managed care plans.

A Guide to Social Services and Health Care in New York City

Crystal Meth Use of methamphetamine (also know as meth, crystal, Tina, crank, crissy, speed, and tweek) is increasing in New York City. Recent studies indicate that meth use may increase unsafe sex and raise HIV and STD infection rates among men who have sex with men. In addition to the physical and psychological damage it causes, meth use often leads to compulsive sexual behaviors that increase the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. Because meth is highly addictive and may significantly alter sexual behavior, it has the potential to become a more serious and widespread problem, especially with regard to increased spread of HIV. Meth use also poses additional dangers to people already infected with HIV. Meth use often results in an intense downward spiral of addiction, which is very difficult to treat.

NYCMA

NEW YORK CRYSTAL METH ANONYMOUS Counseling and Support Groups NYC Crystal Meth Anonymous is a fellowship of people for whom crystal meth has become a serious problem. The only requirement for membership is a desire to stay clean and lead a sober life. There are no dues or membership lists- each group is expected to be self-supporting through its own contributions. The members of crystal meth anonymous meet regularly to share support and fellowship, and create a safe environment to stay drug free. The NYCMA advocates complete abstinence from crystal meth, alcohol, inhalants, as will as all other mind-altering substances. Crystal Meth can have a serious impact on your health. For more information or help, call the following agencies. Some offer individual and group counseling.
