Myth #5: Clinic 554 is only an abortion clinic

Myth #5: Clinic 554 is only an abortion clinic

Busted: Clinic 554 is a family doctor’s office that provides a wide variety of primary health care services, only one of which is abortion.

Long version: Like many family doctors’ offices, Clinic 554 serves patients from “cradle to grave.” They provide a full range of primary health care services, including cervical cancer screenings, gender-affirming care for transgender patients, and treatments for survivors of sexual assault. Clinic 554 also provides pre- and post-natal care to people without family doctors, and care for people with addictions, HIV, and hepatitis C. The Clinic was recognized for their outstanding work in 2019 with the Peter Gillespie Social Justice Award.

Julia Hansen is a volunteer active on the Save Clinic 554 campaign and a member of Reproductive Justice NB. Shealynne Harnish is a mom as well as a criminology student at St. Thomas University.
