Waverly Women's Health is the OB/GYN clinic of Cooperative Health, a federally qualified health center serving Columbia and the surrounding Midlands. Moore is one of seven providers there, working alongside OB/GYN physicians and other nurse practitioners. The clinic covers women's health at every age, from annual exams and pregnancy care through menopause and post-menopause hormone therapy. Visits are in person on weekdays, and new patients either call the clinic or send an appointment request online for a scheduler to answer within two business days. Because it is a community health center, fees slide with household income for people without insurance and no one is turned away for being unable to pay. Interpreters can be arranged, including Spanish and American Sign Language.
Nurture for Women is a small membership practice in Columbia that Jessica Ballouli founded for women in midlife. She is a nurse practitioner board certified in both women's health and family medicine, and her work centers on peri and menopause symptoms, sexual health, weight and metabolic health, and PCOS. Care begins with a phone intake and lab orders from the practice nurse, then a long first visit with Jessica once those results are back, followed by a six week check and a three month review. She does not do primary care or general gynecology, so patients need to keep their own family doctor and gynecologist. For the weight and metabolic side she uses a Styku body scanner to track body composition over time. New patients are going on a waitlist at the moment, and the practice asks them to email rather than book online.
