What to Expect at Your First Appointment at Resource Health in Kansas City
Visiting Resource Health in Kansas City for the first time? Here’s what to expect from your free, confidential appointment, from check-in to next steps.
Taking the first step to schedule an appointment can feel overwhelming, especially when you don’t know what’s ahead. At Resource Health in Kansas City, we believe that peace of mind starts with knowing what to expect.
From your first “hello” to your last conversation before leaving, our team is here to make your experience comfortable, confidential, and compassionate. Every appointment is designed around one core promise:
This is what care looks like.
Step 1: A Warm, Confidential Welcome
When you arrive, one of our team members at our front desk greet you with a smile and guide you through a simple check-in process. You’ll complete a few short forms, just enough to help us understand your needs and ensure you receive the best care possible.
At Resource Health, everything is free and confidential. You can ask questions at any time, and we’ll take the time to explain every part of your visit clearly.
Step 2: Private Pregnancy Testing or STI Screening
If you’ve scheduled a pregnancy test appointment, you’ll provide a quick urine sample in a private restroom (no waiting in a crowded lab or long lines).
If you’re here for STI testing and treatment, one of our licensed nurses will walk you through what to expect and answer your questions about next steps.
We understand that this part of the visit can feel sensitive. Our staff is trained to protect your privacy and dignity at every stage.
Step 3: One-on-One Advocacy & Support
After your initial test, you’ll meet privately with a trained advocate who’s there to listen, not judge. You’ll have the space to talk openly about your situation, your questions, and your options.
Our advocates are here to provide emotional support, educational information, and practical resources. Whether you’re unsure what your next step should be or just need someone to talk to, you’ll never face those questions alone.
Step 4: Results with a Licensed Nurse
Once your results are ready, you’ll meet with a licensed nurse to go over them carefully. They’ll explain what your results mean, answer your medical questions, and make sure you leave with clarity, not confusion.
Our nurses take the time to ensure every patient understands their next steps, including ultrasound services, follow-up care, and community referrals.
Step 5: Ongoing Resources and Next Steps
One of the things that makes Resource Health in Kansas City unique is that your care doesn’t end when you leave the building.
Depending on your needs, you can access:
Ultrasound Services for early confirmation and clarity.
STI Testing and Treatment for men and women.
Parenting Education for those who choose to parent.
Mentoring and Support Services for ongoing guidance.
Community Referrals for housing, counseling, or practical needs.
Every service is free of charge and rooted in compassion.
