About Erie Family Health Centers
Erie Family Health Centers is a community health center network in Chicago, and Carlson is one of the OB/GYN physicians at its West Town site on Superior Street. She did her residency at the University of Illinois in Chicago and has been seeing Erie patients since 2011. Erie's women's health care runs from adolescence through the reproductive years to menopause and beyond, and midlife and menopause support sits on the same service list as contraception, abnormal bleeding and gynecologic surgery. New patients book by phone and fill in an intake form before the first visit, and video visits become an option once you are an established Erie patient. Erie says no one is turned away because of their ability to pay, and front desk staff will go through an income-based discount with patients who are uninsured or carry a high deductible. An Erie provider is on call around the clock, and each site keeps some slots open for same day urgent visits.
