Following the closing of the Mother Child Center in September 2008 and realizing the need for reduced cost women's health services in the community, ICAP began development of the Women's Clinic.  The Women's Clinic is sponsored by ICAP in collaboration with Henry County Hospital and Henry County Health Department.  Services are provided at the ICAP facility, 615 State Road 38W, New Castle.
