Services

The Union County Pubic Health Maternity Clinic provides prenatal care to help ensure the health and well-being of both the mother and baby throughout a woman's pregnancy.

All prenatal visits are completed on-site. Appointments for ultrasounds will be scheduled at a local obstetric office.

Delivery services are provided by Atrium Health Union OB/GYN providers at the Atrium Health Union Hospital in Monroe.

Eligibility

Underinsured and uninsured pregnant women who live in Union or Anson County are eligible for services.

Payments

Fees for services will be determined by a sliding fee scale based on family income. Patients may be eligible for Emergency Medicaid to assist with the costs of delivery.

Appointments

Appointments for the initial maternity intake visit with a nurse are available on Wednesdays or Fridays.

Throughout the pregnancy, provider visits will be scheduled on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Frequency of Visits

Your first prenatal visit will be with a nurse to provide pregnancy education and to obtain a detailed medical, family and social history.

After this intake visit, you will be scheduled for a physical exam with a maternity provider and will then begin regular prenatal appointments.

The schedule for prenatal appointments is:

Once a month until the 28th week of pregnancy
Once every two weeks during weeks 28-35
Once a week from week 36 until delivery

If any high risk conditions or complications develop during your pregnancy, your appointments may be scheduled more frequently and you may be seen twice a week toward the end the pregnancy.
