Dr. Nelson says an OBGYN clinic will open in Taylorville on January 7th. Nelson says such care exists in Taylorville and surrounding areas, but many patients choose Springfield, and travel gets expensive.

Nelson says such services are already available in Taylorville and surrounding areas, but there aren't enough because many of their patients travel into Springfield to be treated. She says vital care can get expensive and inconvenient, especially in the later parts of pregnancy when more care is required. The clinic will be open once a week to start, but hours could expand later.
