About Open Door Gynecology at Plaza Community Health Center
Molly Jacobs is one of four clinicians in Open Door Gynecology, the gynecology service that runs out of the Plaza clinic in Arcata. That service treats menopause symptoms and prescribes hormone therapy, and it also handles contraception, heavy or irregular periods, pelvic pain, prolapse and PCOS. Open Door is a nonprofit community health center network on California's North Coast, so new patients start by calling its Member Services team rather than booking online. Income is checked at the visit for a sliding fee discount, and it applies even to patients who have insurance, which is part of why no fee list is published. Jacobs is also on the Plaza clinic's pregnancy and delivery panels, and the clinic runs its own lab with drop-in hours. Visits can be done by video through the patient portal, and providers can order tests and prescribe medication during a video visit.
