..."The clinic has been hiring more clinicians, security workers and other staff to work the extra hours, said LaQuetta Cooper, the organization’s director of health operations.
If a patient is later in pregnancy, the clinic will rush to get them in as fast as possible, Cooper said.
“We have some patients that just arrived at the health centers without appointments, thinking they can just walk in,” she said. “We do have patients that call to get appointments, maybe the next day, and that are further in gestational age. … We try to get them in within that week, if not the next day of them calling.”
Cooper said the clinic will likely need to move to 12-hour days in the future to absorb the number of patients coming to the clinic."
