Port Chester schools to offer pregnancy tests

July

Students in Port Chester will soon be able to get tested for pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases at a in-school health clinic run by Open Door Medical Centers, according to a Journal News story by reporter Theresa Juva.

All but one member of the school board voted to allow the tests to meet the growing need of the student population.

In 2008, the director of clinical services for Open Door said 19 of the 525 girls at Port Chester High School were either pregnant or parenting.
