Austin Women's Health Center has faced financial hardship since Roe v. Wade was overturned. Recently, the center has had to make difficult decisions— including eliminating the director's position.
An independently owned women's reproductive health clinic is fighting to keep its doors open after nearly five decades serving Austin.
“A lot of our patients that would seek abortion care were self-pay patients. They paid out of pocket for those services,” Smith told KUT. “Profits from that helped support our regular gynecological practice, and to provide comprehensive care to patients throughout their reproductive lives.” She has continued to support the clinic, however; one of her last acts as director was to launch the GoFundMe campaign with a goal of raising $75,000. This amount, Smith said, would help to cover overhead expenses and unexpected costs.
Smith also said Austin Women’s Health Center plays an essential role in providing care for women who experience miscarriages.
