Planned Parenthood office
suggested for Flagstaff
In an effort to rru.ke contraceptive services
more available to NAU students, ASNAU
President Mark Sanbower and other campus
leaders met with officials of Planned
Parenthood of Phoenix, Inc. last week.
The Planned Parenthood Director, Joe D.
Davis, called the meeting "productive" and
promised to place his organization's
resources behind the student drive to im­prove
accessability to this kind of health
care. Meeting with Davis in the Student
Union were Sanbower, Vice President Jorge
Ribiero, A WS Prl!Sident Terry Gibson, and
others.
"We definitely plan /to open a Flagstaff
clinic near the University," Davis said, "and
we are underwriting special training for a
local nurse who will head ~ur program here."
Davis was speaking of Eileen Breslin, R.N.,
Coordinator of the EASE program on campus
last year.
Planned Parenthood is sponsoring Breslin
In a special three-month course for family
planning nurse practitioners at the Universi­ty
of New MexiCQ beginning In October. After
the training is completed, the NAU nursing
graduate will be employed by Planned
Parenthood, and will be certified to do com­plete
gynecological e:s:ams and to prescribe
contraceptive methods under a doctor's
super\':ision.
"We have a major job of cor.ununity
organizing to do," Davis said. "In addition to
the recruitment and training o! staff and
volunteers, there will be the public bearings
necessary to gain 'certificates of need ',
leading to licell!'ing from the Arizona Depart­ment
of Health Services."
Break travelers need to plan now
" In the meantime, aU we can do is work
cooperatively to help make the EASE
program a success. We'll be happy to help
with the training and certification of the
volunteer COIJD3elors," Davis said.
