Windham Women’s Health Center Adds Mental Health Care

Windham Women's Health Center has added mental health counseling and assistance in connecting clients with community services.

Having a Licensed Psychiatric Clinician from Hartford HealthCare’s Behavioral Health Network (BHN) and a bilingual social worker allows the Health Center to support each patient as a whole, said Sarah Bouchard, BSN, RNC-OB, Regional Director of Women’s Health for Hartford HealthCare’s East Region.

“Our goal in the Women’s Health Center is to provide high-quality care,” Bouchard said. “Oftentimes people just think of that in terms of medical care and the doctors and nurses who treat them. But high-quality care is when we can offer patients not only excellent medical care, but the support services and resources needed and improved access to mental health care.”
