Best Practice in Women’s Health in County Durham

Durham Women’s Clinic

Durham Women’s Clinic played a huge role in bringing me into the world – a practice midwife literally pulled me out of the birth canal with a vacuum cleaner – and now they’re helping me live there: I have seen Dr. Nichelle Satterfield, who won our category for Best Women’s Health Practitioner in Wake County, for annual gynecological exams, STI screenings and access to birth control, and her care has been about as personalized, friendly and compassionate as you can imagine. Founded in 1941 by the first woman to receive a four-year medical degree from Duke University, Durham Women’s Clinic has long listened to the needs of women, and the practice plays an especially vital role today, because women’s access to comprehensive medical care is at stake. (The clinic does not provide abortion services, but does offer a referral list to anyone who calls.)—LG

Franklin Street Yoga Center

Located off Chapel Hill’s main thoroughfare, Franklin Street Yoga is walkable for UNC-Chapel Hill students and downtown Chapel Hill residents. A spacious, clean studio offers space for a wide range of classes that oscillate between sweaty workouts and more meditative spiritual sessions; Kundalini Yoga classes have also recently become available in Spanish. For those hesitant to join an exercise room during the pandemic, thoughtful public health protocols — a mask requirement, smaller class sizes, limited adjustments — provide reassurance; some courses are also offered virtually. Discounted newcomer specials also provide an easy entry point for beginners who are just starting to practice.—SE
