Sandpoint Women's Health Expands
With the addition of another physician, Sandpoint Women's Health will begin seeing both gynecological and obstetrics patients in Bonners Ferry beginning August 21, 2009. According to Hailey Honsinger, Sandpoint Women's Health Clinic Manager, four physicians will provide services at a rented space at Panhandle Health District.
"We wanted to serve the community in a better way," said Hailey. "We have been seeing obstetrics patients in Bonners Ferry for the past three years once a week, but we decided to provide more access to health care by expanding our services."
Hailey reported that four doctors will share the load of serving Boundary County by rotating their schedules. Deborah Owen, MD, Camille Santarpio, MD, Bruce Honsinger, MD, and Kristin Algoe, MD, will provide standard gynecological care including annual exams, general breast exams, IUD placement and general well woman care.
Obstetric care is the newest service that will be provided by the physicians of Sandpoint Women's Health. Hailey said that women will now be able to get most of their pre-natal care completed in Bonners Ferry although they will still need to travel to Sandpoint to get their ultrasounds as well as any other tests they may need. Patients of Sandpoint Women's Health will still need to travel to Bonner General Hospital for their babies' deliveries.
