TRANSCRIPT

Dr. Beverly Gray: I think in June, we just didn’t realize how fast things were going to change. That was the thing that was startling, is that things just started changing really quickly. A lot of our volume and our stress is dependent upon what restrictions surrounding states have currently. I think it’s hard for us to– it’s hard enough to keep track of what’s going on in North Carolina, much less South Carolina, Georgia, Florida. We’re seeing patients from all those, and Tennessee. Those are the states where patients are coming from. And so I think just keeping track of that has been a challenge. In June, July [2022], there was a 5-week period of time where South Carolina sort of went dark with their abortion services. They had a heartbeat ban in place, and so we just felt overwhelmed during that period of time. That is the main thing that stands out– it feels constantly like it’s changing.
