It's been an exciting few months following the launch of the Reproductive Health Hotline (ReproHH) this summer. As a resource for all U.S.-based clinicians and community health workers, we've enjoyed guiding callers through their questions about sexual and reproductive health (SRH) using evidence-based best practices. 

As a new resource, it's important to get the word out about our hotline, and ensure providers are aware that our free and confidential service is available to them. That's why we are proud to share that ReproHH has been featured in MedPage Today®, a popular online news service for healthcare professionals! 

The article "Physicians Can Call New Hotline With Reproductive Health Questions" covers the launch of ReproHH, which was one of our inspirations, and our process for taking calls in and out of California. As a reminder, all callers must read and acknowledge our Terms of Service before receiving clinical education from our staff. 

Read below for a snippet from the article, and read the full article on MedPage Today®! 

Snippet: 

Healthcare providers with questions about reproductive and sexual health topics have a new resource at their disposal: an anonymous, confidential, and free physician-staffed hotline.
 
Reproductive Health Hotline, or ReproHH, launched earlier this summer and is staffed by clinicians at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) with expertise in sexual and reproductive health.
 
The comprehensive reproductive and sexual health hotline is equipped to answer questions about complex contraceptive counseling; abortion, where legal; post-abortion and miscarriage care; early pregnancy management; sexually transmitted diseases; urinary tract infections and vaginitis; and pain management for gynecological procedures.
 
"A bunch of us started realizing that there was a need to have a clinician-facing hotline that could support clinicians with sexual and reproductive health nationally. When we talk to physicians across the country about [ReproHH], people say, 'Oh my God, we've needed this for a decade!'"
