Patty Judge to Speak at Emma Goldman Clinic
Fundraiser in Cedar Rapids

Patty Judge, Iowa's Secretary of Agriculture, will speak at a fundraiser in Cedar Rapids for the Emma Goldman Clinic. This event and will be held on Sunday, September 25 from 3-5pm in the Clark Alumni House on the Coe College campus. The Honorary Chair of this event is Joan Lipsky.

The focus of the gathering is to talk about the gynecology services provided by the Emma Goldman Clinic and to raise funds to subsidize the $25,000 sliding scale fee structure. These subsidies help clients have financial access to reproductive health care services such as annual exams, pregnancy prevention services, and sexually transmitted infection testing and treatment.

Karen Kubby, Executive Director of the Emma Goldman Clinic stated that, "many people believe that the sole service offered at the Emma Goldman Clinic is abortion care. 51% of the Clinic's clients come for gynecology services, while 36% come for abortion services. Massage therapy and our donation-based walk-in clinic make up the rest of the services provided by the Emma Goldman Clinic."

"We are a proud abortion provider. Yet, it is important that people know that most of the health care services we provide are within our gynecology clinic," she went on to say.

Suggested donation for this event is $20, although all are welcome at whatever level of support is appropriate for a particular individual or household. For more information or to request an accommodation to attend, contact Karen Kubby at (319) 337-2112.
