The CMA’s Physicians CareConnection (PCC) hopes to continue an exciting new pilot initiative that provides healthcare to pregnant women.

Dr. Catherine Romanos, a family doctor and past CMA Board President, started volunteering with Physicians CareConnection (PCC) over ten years ago to better connect with the community. She now serves as the Medical Director at JustChoice, a nonprofit that helps people explore all their options during pregnancy.

Seeing a need in the community, Dr. Romanos, JustChoice, and PCC, teamed up to host four pop-up clinics at the PCC Center for Optimal Health in May and June. These events offer free pregnancy tests, ultrasounds, and support from trained professionals. They also help people get connected to wrap-around resources, no matter their choice.

The first pop-up clinic was held on Thursday, May 8, 2025. Dr. Romanos said that, along with the ultrasounds, they were able to connect several patients with prenatal care and helped a pregnant mom sign up for WIC.

“The PCC staff has been incredible in helping this make this happen,” said Dr. Romanos. “It’s this wrap-around care that PCC does so well for our community that we wanted to work together to provide to pregnant women.”

The upcoming clinics are May 29, June 12, and June 26, from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm at the PCC Center for Optimal Health on Dublin Road. Find more information and download the flyer here.

PCC and Just Choice hope to schedule additional dates and are seeking physician volunteers, including primary care doctors and ultrasound providers. If you are interested, contact PCC at pcc@pcchealth.org.
