Last Updated: May 3, 2023

Your health and the health of all Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare patients and staff is of utmost importance to us. Our physicians continue to closely monitor clinical recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), and the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG).

Mask Policy:

  • Masks are optional in our offices.

Visitor Policy:

  • Our physicians in Skokie and Buffalo Grove (135 N Arlington Heights Rd.) ask that patients only bring one support person and allow only children in strollers or car seats to accompany patients.

Appointment Check In Process:

  • Pre-register for your appointment by completing paperwork online a few days before your appointment. An email will be sent to you 3 days prior to your appointment with a link to input or update your demographics and health information.

  • On the day of appointment, check-in online to minimize your time in our waiting rooms. You should receive a link via email and/or text to check-in.

Appointment Rescheduling:

  • Contact us 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule your appointment to avoid any potential โ€œno show/cancellationโ€ fees.

  • To reschedule, you may use our Patient Portalย orย call our officesย to speak with a nurse.

Should Women Who Are Pregnant or Breastfeeding Get the Covid-19 Vaccine?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), theย Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)ย and theย Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine all recommend that pregnant and lactating women be vaccinated for COVID-19 given new evidence of vaccine safety. The rise of the Delta variant across the United States, and the increased risk of severe illness for pregnant individuals make vaccination for this population more urgent than ever. Midwest Center for Womenโ€™s HealthCare follows the recommendations of ACOG as our standard of care. Please note at this time, we are unable to grant medical exemptions to vaccine mandates to OB patients unless there is a medically indicated reason.

We value your trust, your health, and your safety, as well as the health and safety of our staff. Midwest Center for Women’s HealthCare is your partner in health today and always.
