abortion protest. After this information, a
recorded message from Scheidler comes on the
line discussing group activities.
Advocates for Life recently applied for a
court order seeking closure of the PWFHC until
it obtains a state license as a health-care facility.
A petition was filed in Multnomah County
Circuit Court asking for an order requiring state
health officials to impose the state license.
Since the court order, the Oregon State
Health Division has done a site visit and has
determined that the clinic does not need to be
licensed.
“ T h ere are two different categories of licens
ing that we might fit under: one is a pregnancy
termination hospital and the other is an ambulat
ory surgical facility. An ASF is a facility that is
not connected with a hospital and does proce
dures that are not customarily performed in a
doctor’s office. The Oregon State Health Divi
sion has determined that we are not a pregnancy
termination hospital because we do not require
an overnight stay, we don't use general
anesthesia. and abortions are not the only proce
dures performed here. We also do "W ell-
Women“ health care, which includes pregnancy
screening, birth control and pap smears. The
OSHD also determined that we are not an
ambulatory surgical facility because we do pro
cedures that are frequently performed in a
doctor''s office.” explains Hanzo.
State law requires that a health-care facility
obtain a state license if it performs outpatient
surgery not routinely or customarily performed
in a physician's or dentist's office.
