On top of keeping up with all her other activities, Myhre has to keep on her toes because she's the only gynecologist there to see the patients. During an examination, a patient should receive a pap-smear test and breast exam to check for cervical and breast cancer, respectively. The Department of Health comes into the clinic every Wednesday to offer HIV testing by appointment. They should start when they're 18 years or older, or once they become sexually active. Myhre encourages women to make an appointment at the Women's Health Clinic.

There are females doing pelvic exams and women are more comfortable with a female handling that. We also do a lot of education and take the time to talk about the examination and talk our patients through everything. I try to make everyone relax as much as possible and don't force anyone to have the examination until they're ready. It's very important to have the annual examination, though. You can check for STDs if you're sexually active and also check for cancer in the breasts or cervix.
