I really enjoyed our Tuesday's presentations, but I was interested to learn more about Women's Health Care Center. The opportunities which this organization provides to the women are great. From the statistics which we have there are more than 10,000 women and girls every year who receive their respectful health care services, community education and outreach education. This huge number of patients which entrust the services provided by their doctors shows the connection between doctor and patient. I think that this kind of relationship among people should be established in every medical center. For example, in "The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down", the attitude which the Hmong people received from the doctors was unsatisfactory. They did not have an appropriate attitude to the family in general and may be that was the main problem why they could not heal Lia. That is why I am glad that the Women's Health Center in Atlanta makes their patients comfortable with the medical atmosphere giving them their best support.
I was also impressed by the fact that the Women Health Center serves those who have difficulties in obtaining care and information due to economics, race, ethnicity, and many other conditions. Their services are available to all kinds of women whether they are white, black, able, or disable. Through their work, people from the center strive to achieve reproductive justice for women everywhere, which can be made a reality through our generous support. I am glad that there are such organizations which provide the right medical quality of treatment which every women deserve.

After doing my Activist Practicum with Ami and Tina, I have to agree with Zhanet. The Women's Health Care Center of Atlanta is an amazing place with so many services to offer all women of Atlanta. When we arrived at the Center, the women were more than willing to answer all of our questions and provide us with information that we could share with the class. They were especially thrilled that we would want to promote their event for college students where they discussed Reproductive Justice and Health Care. These women are dedicated to helping other women and are willing to go the extra mile in order to make sure that women get the emotional and medical attention that they deserve no matter what their sexual identity, social class, race, etc. The presence of organizations like this are essential in making sure that women remain healthy, make the right decisions, and live a prosperous life.
I thought you guys did a great job of presenting this information! It really seemed like it was a positive experience for you. I think I feel the same way about our class. Through discussion and reading, and sharing our projects, I have really learned to be more accepting of others and myself. I've learned the importance of emotional and medical health and the ability I have to break stigma and increase the opportunities of other women, especially those deemed "the other," to learn the same things I have. It's good to have centers like this training people of our age so that we can become a generation of aware women. It will be a great day when we are aware of human rights and healthy living due to the proper teaching of a whole generation of aware mothers rather than due to the work of organizations.
