The women’s healthcare access debate is top of mind throughout the country, since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. But access to care was not equal even before that landmark decision.  On the Mendocino coast, women can face physical and economic stress regardless of their age and choices about having a family.  We talked to Lucresha Renteria, the executive director of the Mendocino Coast Clinics and Judy Leach, the president of the Adventist Health Fort Bragg Hospital about access to care.  We also talked to a new mom about her experience during pregnancy and delivery.
