Exploring women's health amid coronavirus pandemic

"We rely a lot on what our patients are telling us even if we were seeing you in the clinic."

"I've been doing them all week from home and they have been really working out well. I feel like I'm able to address patients concerns, and then also give them guidance as to 'how soon do you have to come in to do those blood tests or if it's something that's more of a routine blood test, can we push it back a couple of months?" said Dr. Ferry.

For those who work in holistic medicine, exploring online yoga sessions and informational workshops can give clients a sense of calm during a stressful time.

"I think the difference and working with those people that needed a little bit more of a gentle approach was I'm missing the one on one, but we've learned to even take those clients and those students, virtually," said Keri Hoyt, instructor with Ahimsa - Yoga with Keri.

As people prepare for a longer trek into the unknown, Womanspace's Christi Russell says approaching it with clarity is key.
