Don9t attempt to interfere. There is a curfew for minors in Sisters, which is stricter than the state cur- few of midnight to 4 a.m. City ordinance says minors should be off the streets from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Parents need to be aware of the cur- few, which is easily enforce- able by sheriff9s deputies.

On a related topic, City Manager Cory Misley reported that City staff has undertaken an extensive evaluation of public safety in Sisters. They are currently gathering data, will conduct a survey of the public around safety issues, and are evalu- ating all options regarding community public safety.

Every Wednesday, a pro- vider from the Center for Women9s Health office will be at the clinic to provide obstetric care, well-women exams, contraceptive man- agement, menopause treat- ment and other services. The Center for Women9s Health has board-certified physi- cians, women9s health nurse practitioners and certified nurse midwives who collab- oratively work together to meet patients9 needs. Offering the Wednesday appointments at the clinic is part of St. Charles9 effort to make obstetric and gyneco- logic services more acces- sible to women of all ages in Sisters, Black Butte, Camp Sherman and throughout the region. <Women may suffer from problems such as pelvic pain, irregular bleeding and bladder incontinence, but delay see- ing a provider because they either feel this is 8normal9 or they encounter barriers to accessing care,= said Tricia Clay, manager of clinic opera- tions at St. Charles Center for Women9s Health. <As women age, it9s important they see a provider yearly for preventive exams and screenings, and to address concerns they have as they get older and approach menopause.= Women seen in Sisters who need care beyond what can be provided at the clinic will be referred to the Center for Women9s Health in Redmond to see a board- certified OB-GYN. Any sur- gical procedures needed can be performed at St. Charles Redmond. <We are so excited to expand our services to another location, making it more convenient for women to get access to the care they need,= said Dr. Beth Murrill, a board-certified OB-GYN. <We9re very much looking forward to connecting with and supporting the Sisters community.= We are so excited to expand our services to another location, making it more convenient for women to get access to the care they need. — Dr. Beth Murrill Smoke drift...
